Living Oceans Society annual photo contest has closed for 2017 and the winning photos are posted below! Every year we invite the public to help Living Oceans Society showcase the beauty of the ocean as we advocate for its protection, by sharing their favorite ocean photos with us.
Submissions must fall into one of three categories to qualify:‘Below the Surface’, 'Coastal Wildlife', and 'Work or Play on the Ocean', with 3 prizes available per category. There is also one uncategorized 'Seahuggers' Choice' prize (chosen by total 'likes' each photo gets in a album we post on our Facebook page), making a total of ten prizes to be awarded this year.
Entries must be recent and must be located on near or under one of Canada’s three oceans. Photographs are judged on exposure, composition, uniqueness, creativity, technical proficiency and relevance to chosen theme.
Take a look at this year's winning entries below!
