Marine Photo Competition 2025

Entries are now closed - keep an eye on our e-news and on social media for the vote and announcements of the winners.

Sussex Wildlife Trust is excited to host our 2025 marine photography competition, in collaboration with Sussex Underwater.

The competition was open to all and to entries from both under the water and in the intertidal zone. Submissions had to been taken in the Sussex seas or coastline. 

We were looking for marine, underwater, or intertidal wildlife as subject matter - no coastal views or sea birds!  (Please see full competition terms and conditions).

Finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges from Sussex Underwater and Sussex Wildlife Trust, plus our guest judge, professional marine photographer Paul Naylor. We will also have a people's winner and runner up, chosen through a public vote. 

What could I win?

First place will be awarded a £100 cash prize; first place from the people’s choice will be awarded a £50 cash prize.

Both runners up will win a copy of the newly released book ‘Snorkelling Britain’ by Emma and Gordon Taylor.

The winning images will also be featured in Sussex Wildlife Trust’s Wildlife magazine, monthly enews and on our website and social media channels.
