Research notes
The closing date and time come from third-party listings (Deartline, Photo Contest Calendar, Contest Watchers), not the official site, which has moved on to CUPOTY 8. Ross Gudgeon's soft-coral image won the Underwater category and the overall title; results were published on 5 February 2026.
