Underwater Photographer of the year 2023

About

Underwater Photographer of the Year (UPY) is the world's most prestigious annual competition for underwater photography and will be hosted at Gosport Gallery for the very first time. With its roots as far back as 1965, this respected competition celebrates the extraordinary realm hidden beneath the surface of oceans, lakes, rivers and even swimming pools. Visitors can expect to see captivating images of the highest technical and creative brilliance, drawing our attention to the beauty of planet Earth's waters, yet often depicting thought-provoking and challenging stories.

The 2023 competition attracted over 6000 entries from 72 countries and the winning photograph features a playful, pink Amazonian dolphin. This exhibition will showcase further winning photographs and an edited selection from the finalists in the competition's 13 categories. These include themes such as Macro, Wide Angle, Behaviour and Wreck photography, as well as four categories for photographs taken in the British waters. This year's judges are experienced underwater photographer's Peter Rowlands, Tobias Friedrich and Dr Alex Mustard MBE.   

From the poles to the tropics, embark on a journey of underwater discovery in this fascinating exhibition.
