“At Princess we truly believe that the Ocean Photography Awards will grow to be recognized not only as a prop for photographers around the world, but also, and perhaps most importantly, to keep the preservation of our oceans and aquatic life in the foreground. . The ocean is indeed our playground, and collective efforts to maintain its health and well-being can be galvanized by these awards and the images captured, as well as through readers of publications such as the Oceanographic Review. Congratulations to everyone who participated and to our winners. This feels like the beginning of something really beautiful. ”Kiran Haslam, Princess Yachts Marketing Director.
