I am excited to announce that my image, Lion's Lair, has made the winner's circle of the Underwater Photographer of the Year 2024 contest - 3rd place in the Up & Coming category! The UPY contest is one of the top competitions worldwide for underwater image creators, and is judged by three accomplished experts in the field:Â Dr. Alex Mustard, Peter Rowlands, and Tobias Friedrich. It is very humbling to have had my image chosen out of over 6500 entries by such an esteemed panel. Thank you! Big thanks also goes to the rest of the team at UPY: Dan Bolt, Saeed Rashid and Shannon Moran.
Congratulations to all of the winners this year! You can check out the full yearbook of UPY 2024 images at https://underwaterphotographeroftheyear.com/winners/2024-winners
