Blancpain joins the annual Ocean Photography Awards competition, becoming its Main Partner. Produced by Oceanographic Magazine in support of ocean conservation charity SeaLegacy, the objective of the Ocean Photography Awards annual competition is to communicate the beauty of the ocean as well as the many perils it faces. To achieve this goal, it calls on the talent and sensitivity of any individual involved in photography and using the ocean as their subject. To encourage women to share their perspective on the underwater world, Blancpain is launching the Female Fifty Fathoms Award, a new category designed to reward women's achievements in the field of ocean photography to inspire future generations and encourage them to work towards ocean preservation.
