The 2026 Ocean Exposures Photo Contest is open, and we’re inviting photographers across Canada to submit their best ocean-inspired images for a chance to win fantastic prizes from our generous sponsors.

From coastal wildlife and underwater worlds to life and work on the ocean, we want to see the places, creatures and moments that make our oceans worth protecting.
