The DPG/Wetpixel Masters Underwater Imaging Competition winners have been announced. This competition has become known as the “Super Bowl” of underwater imaging events and celebrates and highlights both art of underwater photography as well as the beauty of the ocean.

This year the esteemed panel of judges went through thousands of images and videos taken by novice to professional photographers from around the world.

$55,000 in prizes were awarded to the winners. Congratulations to Scott Portelli, who won Best of Show for his 1st place image from the Wide Angle Unrestricted category.

Winners were announced live on stage during the Wave Film Festival in Chicago (February 29, 2020), and will be published by supporting media partners worldwide. 

As with all UnderwaterCompetition.com events, 15% of entry proceeds will be donated to marine conservation efforts. The judges and staff at DivePhotoGuide.com and Wetpixel.com congratulate all the participants—the level of imagery was outstanding!
