You have until September 25 to enter one underwater photo in SANTI’s 2026 Photo Awards. SANTI is a Polish drysuit maker. Entrants must be 18 or older and not a SANTI employee, relative, or otherwise affiliated with the company. Enter at contest.santidiving.com.
A jury will select 13 finalists, then public voting among those finalists determines the final results. The finalists’ photos also become SANTI’s 2027 calendar. Results are announced October 12, 2026.
Prizes
First place wins a EUR 2,000 SANTI voucher, second place EUR 1,000, and third place EUR 500. Fourth through sixth place win a large SANTI Afterdive clothing set, seventh through tenth a medium set, and eleventh through thirteenth a small set. Vouchers are redeemable at SANTI Concept Stores or authorized dealers.
Editing Rules
Basic technical corrections, like noise reduction and sharpening, are allowed. Generative AI editing is not, and no image made wholly or partly by AI can compete. SANTI can ask any entrant, not only finalists, for the original unprocessed file, such as a RAW, to check the editing.
The License You Give SANTI
Submitting your photo grants SANTI a free, irrevocable license to use it to run the contest, and afterward for the company’s own promotion and marketing, with no time limit. That covers publishing your photo, or an edited version of it, without naming you as the photographer. The license applies the moment you submit, whether or not you become a finalist.
