The Challenger Society for Marine Science

We are the foremost learned society representing the UK academic marine research community.

2026 Challenger Society Conference Presidents’ Artistic Image Prize

Challenger Society members are invited to submit all kinds of images (paintings, drawings, collages …) as well as photographs, for a competition to be judged at the Conference in September.

We are looking for images relating to marine science or the ocean that are beautiful, impressive, evocative, amusing, quirky or entertaining. The winning image will earn its creator a prize of £100. The winner will be decided by the Society’s President and the Immediate Past President.

You may submit up to three images, and information about how to do this will be sent out shortly. Entries must arrive by 17 August. For each image, please provide a title, and a brief explanation of the context. Images should not have been created for commercial purposes or have received any previous award.

Photographic images should not have been significantly altered digitally (e.g. using Photoshop) or created with AI. They need to be at sufficiently high resolution to look good when printed, not just on screen. This means that the file size should be of the order of 1 Mb or more, not tens of kb. Images may be used in future publications of the Society, with the owner’s permission.

NB The competition is only open to members of the Society
