REEF Discover the Sea Photography Contest

The photo submission period will open September 1, 2025 

REEF members may submit up to three photos per category in each of the following categories:

  • Fish Portrait: A portrait shot of fish only. Portrait shots usually focus on one fish and can be of its whole body or framed tightly around its head. (Portrait photos of Sea Turtles are also accepted in this category)
  • Macro: Shots that are extremely close up, making the subject appear larger than life-size.
  • Invertebrates: Images featuring a marine invertebrate.
  • Comedy: photos may include your best comedic photos, from weird faces, the worst photo bombs, to hilarious mishaps.
  • Habitat/Seascape/Environment: These photos must be of a marine environment or seascape. They do not have to be underwater but must be marine-focused, examples are over/under shots, mangroves, topside water shots, etc.

The voting period will open September 20, 2025

There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each category for the photo that receives the most votes. The winning photos and photographers will be announced after the voting has ended on September 30.
