It is with great enthusiasm and admiration that we bring the 2025 edition of the FOTOVIDEOSUB Underwater Photography Competition to a close, a year that has once again exceeded all expectations (thank you very much). In 2025, we recorded an astonishing 3,025 entries, which transported us to the most surprising corners of the ocean. Each of these images told a unique story, captured fleeting moments and showed the underwater world as it truly is: mysterious, majestic and teeming with life.

The online phase, during which 100 outstanding images were selected, reflected our community’s passion and love for the sea. With a total of 389,112 valid votes, we saw just how actively the public participated in choosing their favourites, thereby reaffirming our commitment to marine conservation and the beauty of the natural world around us.

The expert jury had the challenging task of selecting from the 100 finalist photos, and 35 stood out in the voting. These images demonstrate not only outstanding technical skill but also a powerful visual narrative that conveys the beauty, the challenges and the importance of the ocean to our lives.

FOTOVIDEOSUB 2025 was a tribute to the creativity, talent and unique vision of every single photographer. We are deeply grateful to all participants for their dedication and encourage them to continue capturing the magic of the seas. Every photograph has the power to tell a story, inspire future generations and raise awareness of the need to protect the underwater world.

Many thanks to everyone who made this edition such a resounding success. With every image, with every voice, we have taken another step towards protecting our oceans. And as always, we look forward to the next edition, where we will see how the sea continues to captivate the creativity of underwater photographers.
