The winners of the prestigious “Ocean Photographer of the Year 2025” competition have been officially announced. This annual event serves a dual mission: to celebrate the breathtaking beauty of our planet’s oceans and to cast a spotlight on the critical challenges they face.

According to the Jadeh Makhsous news base, the competition invites ocean photographers from all backgrounds, whether amateur or professional, to submit their most compelling work.

Submissions are meticulously evaluated by a distinguished panel comprising renowned photographers, editors, and museum curators.

Each year, 118 outstanding images are selected from the entries. These chosen photographs are then shared with millions of people worldwide through a series of digital, print, and in-person exhibitions, amplifying their impact on a global scale.

According to Jadeh Makhsous, the collection showcases a powerful blend of art and environmental storytelling. What are your thoughts on the winning entries? Share your favorite image in the comments below. The cover photo for this feature is credited to Romain Barats, sourced from theguardian.com.
