Ocean Photographer of the Year Melbourne: What a Journey!

This has been more than an exhibition – it’s been a celebration of our oceans, their beauty, diversity, and the urgent need to protect them.

A huge thank you to our global partners Oceanographic Magazine and Blancpain for trusting us with this incredible showcase, and to the Australian National Maritime Museum for their invaluable production assistance.

To our Melbourne sponsors: Hobsons Bay City Council, Geoffrey Evans Trust, Quest Williamstown North, and the Hobsons Bay Community Fund – Support the Hobsons Bay community, your support made this possible.

And to the extraordinary photographers from across our blue planet, your images moved, inspired, and challenged us. You’ve given our visitors a window into the depths and a reason to care.

To the thousands of guests who walked through our doors – thank you for being part of this journey. May you leave with saltwater in your veins and the ocean in your heart. 🌊💙

As we look ahead to bringing the next chapter of Ocean Photographer of the Year to Melbourne, we’re inviting new sponsors to join us, to dive deep with us, inspire audiences, and help educate the next generation about ocean conservation. If you share our passion for protecting the blue heart of our planet, we’d love to talk.
