UnderwaterPhoto Contests

Contests for marine behaviour photography

Behaviour shots are the hardest to plan and often the most rewarded: a goby guarding eggs, a frogfish mid-strike, mantas feeding. These contests have a dedicated behaviour category for underwater work.

Judges in behaviour categories pay close attention to wildlife ethics. Read each contest's rules on baiting, touching and manipulating subjects before you enter.
