Alex Bradley When we look at this blue planet that we live on, it is clear that the Oceans occupy most of its surface. Even though human civilization is in its best form of advancement, we still have not discovered even a proper fraction of it. The biggest mammal in the world lives in the ocean, many animals, aquatic plants, lost civilizations and many more secrets of the world lie under the surface of the water, waiting to be discovered.
As an appreciation of this mind-blowing place on the earth, Ocean-Photography-Awards competition has been organized by Oceanographic for the year 2021. They called out photographers all over the world to take part in this contest by submitting their amazing shots that are taking in the Ocean. Receiving a lot of amazing photos of the oceans, the judges had a hard time trying to seep through the huge number of submissions they received.
This has been a very important competition for this time and situation of the world. The oceans are facing greater threats every single day, week, and month. The competition has already decided to give away 20% of its profits to causes that will help to conserve and save the oceans, aquatic plants, and marine life. Although it is a photography competition, it acts as an eye-opener from the different perspectives of thousands of photographers on how precious the Oceans are.
