CESMM 2024 Contest – The Winners

On September 21 and 22, the Monaco Underwater Exploration Club organized the 19th edition of its photo contest. Discover the award-winning shots from this event.

The participating pairs were divided into two categories: OI – amateur or seasoned photographers using a camera with interchangeable lenses, and ONI – those with a fixed-lens camera. Over the weekend, they had to dive, photograph, and present four shots to the jury in the following themes: atmosphere (with or without model), fish (whole), macro, and imposed theme (nudibranchs).

Since 2003, this contest has become a must-attend event for French-speaking photographers. It highlights the beauty and diversity of Mediterranean species found in Monaco’s waters, while raising public awareness of the fragility of these ecosystems.
