Submissions accepted until 7 May 2024 for the 2024 Lens Beyond Ocean international competition.
As the organizers put it, Lens Beyond Ocean (LBO) “is more than a competition—it’s an odyssey.” And with that notion in mind, they invite photographers and videographers at all levels, from novice to professional, to take up the challenge, go on a quest to dive the seas, and bring back images of the magic, mystery and magnificence of the underwater world.
In 2024, LBO will proudly present its 13th annual international underwater photography competition. Over the past decade, the competition’s primary aim has been to inspire and empower underwater photographers and videographers around the globe to capture the natural wonders of the underwater realm through their lenses.
Prizes
Since its start in 2011, the LBO photo competition has seen incredible growth, with over 1,000 underwater photographers from around the world participating every year. Contestants have the chance to win a fabulous array of prizes, which include dive trips and top-of-the-line dive gear and camera equipment.

During the Malaysia International Dive Expo in Kuala Lumpur, which takes place 7-9 June 2024, the winning images will be displayed in the foyer, while the winning videos will be showcased on the Main Stage LED screen in Hall 2, Level 1, of the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).
