Have you snapped any stunning images of sharks or rays? Or even the intricate eggcases produced by many species? Perhaps you’ve been lucky enough to encounter a chimaera? Then you could be the next Shark Photography Champion! The Shark Trust has just launched their photography competition designed to celebrate the diversity and beauty of these animals.
From now until the 15th May 2025 – photographers can enter up to four images into the photo competition. And this competition is a little different. There are no categories to have to decide where to enter your images. But there will be awards for the overall champion, and also winners selected for the following: British Isles and Overseas. In addition, we’ll be looking for entries for the Best Eggcase, Young Shark Photographer (U18), and entries relating to the Shark Trust’s programmes: Mediterranean, Living with Sharks, and Oceanics.
A host of great prizes are up for grabs! Including a shark dive & stay package in Nassau with accommodation at Breezes and diving with Stuart Cove’s Dive Bahamas courtesy of Diverse Travel and The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism. Perfect for creating a shark diving trip of a lifetime around. Two Mares Quad 2 computers, Scapa Joe Sculpture, Shark Trust Teemill merchandise and more.
The finalists will be selected by a panel of judges (Charles Hood, Nick Robertson-Brown, and Simon Rogerson), be printed by Astralis Print and Design, and put on display at Ocean Studios at Royal William Yard in Plymouth for the whole of July during Shark Month. Here, members of the public will be able to vote for their favourite image from the finalists on display. All the winners will be revealed at the end of July.
You don’t have much time to enter! Dig out your best images of sharks, rays, skates, chimaeras or eggcases, and follow the link to enter before the 15th May 2025
