2027 Sponsors and prizes

Prizes and sponsors for the 2027 Underwater Photographer of the Year competition

We at the Underwater Photographer of the Year competition believe that, while prizes are an important part of any serious photography contest, it is the prize that money can-not buy which makes our awards uniquely attractive to underwater photographers. This comes from high regard that everyone has for this particular competition and the worldwide media exposure that we generate for our winners and their photography.

That said, we are very proud that many of the leading companies in the diving and underwater photography world choose to sponsor UPY and we hope all entrants will consider using their products in the future. 

If your company wants to sponsor a prize in a future UPY competition, please get in touch.

We are currently working on the 2027 prize pool. We'll update this page when these have been finalized.
