Results of the I live by the Sea International Youth Photo and Film Contest 2025

Today We Have World Oceans Day! 🌊 On this special day, we are excited to announce the results of the 2026 I Live by the Sea International Youth Photo and Film Contest! 🎬📸 Since 2017, the contest has brought together 1,843 participants from 36 countries, creating a growing global community united by one message: WE ALL LIVE BY THE SEA. Whether we live by the coast or far inland, in the mountains or in the middle of a city our actions affect the ocean. Together, we can choose to make that impact positive. 🌍 This year, we received 95 entries from 17 countries: Croatia, Estonia, France, Gibraltar (UK), Greece, India, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Thailand, Türkiye, and the United States. A huge thank you to all participants for your inspiring photos, films, and powerful ocean stories! 💙 The exhibition of winning photos, together with selected films and stories, opens on 8 June at Gdynia Aquarium, Poland. Although this edition has ended, our community continues to grow! Stay connected with us, share your sea stories, and join the next edition coming this fall.
