Blancpain, main partner to the 2021 edition of the Ocean Photography Awards (OPA) competition, is launching the Female Fifty Fathoms Award, designed to reward women’s achievements in the field of ocean photography
Produced by “Oceanographic Magazine”, in support of ocean conservation charity SeaLegacy, the objective of the Ocean Photography Awards annual competition is to communicate the beauty of the ocean, as well as the many perils it faces. Open to all, the contest is inclusive: amateurs and professionals, divers and surfers, young and old alike. It consists of six categories leaving the door open to interpretation, as well as an overall Ocean Photographer of the Year prize.
The 2021 programme has been enhanced with the introduction of a complementary category of the Female Fifty Fathoms Award, a prize introduced and awarded by Blancpain, which wishes to encourage women to share their perspective on the underwater world while promoting their involvement in the realms of diving, ocean photography and raising awareness of the ocean. Candidates have to be pre-nominated for the competition by a person for whom they represent a source of inspiration.
