Underwater Photographer of the Year is an annual competition, based in the UK, that celebrates photography beneath the surface of the ocean, lakes, rivers and even swimming pools, and attracts entries from all around the world.
The contest has 13 categories, testing photographers with themes such as Macro, Wide Angle, Behaviour and Wreck photography, as well as four categories for photos taken specifically in British waters.
The 2024 collection including the winning images will be on display in Atkins Gallery.
Atkins Gallery is open Monday to Friday 09:00-17:00. Look out for additional evening and weekend openings here or on social media @AtkinsBuilding
