The 2026 UPY Yearbook

All the 2026 winning images, all the back-stories, all the judges comments, alltogether in one stunning publication - The Underwater Photographer of the Year Yearbook.

The UPY team have once again produced this stunning and free Yearbook, edited by Saeed Rashid, which brings together the 112 winning images from the 2026 competition.

"UPY 2026 attracted over 7900 entries, and these pages contain the very best. Once again, our winning images were taken across the oceans from the poles to the tropics, we have pictures from the open ocean to mountain lakes and the collection includes photos taken on deep wrecks, in underground caves, in shallow rockpools, and even in enclosed water, like swimming pools."
