Inaugural Kelp Forest Photo Awards

Where
2 Balls Head Dr
Waverton NSW 2060
Australia
When

Every day, 10am to 3pm Saturday 13 July 2024 to Sunday 28 July 2024

Underwater forests of seaweed known as kelp, cover over 1/3 of our world’s coastlines, and live right next door to 750 million people. Within their sunken branches, sea dragons still roam, sea otters hunt for urchins, families learn how to sustainably harvest from the sea, and people find new connections to the oceans.

Explore these “forgotten forests” at the first ever Kelp Forest Photo Awards and discover a wild and wonderful world just off your local beach. Featuring over 350 submissions from 17 countries around the world, these awards celebrate these incredible ecosystems, the life they support, and the people who depend on them for their well-being. Find yourself lost amongst the golden swaying branches of the kelp and reimagine your relationship with the ocean.

Join us at 10am on Saturday 13 July for a special launch event.

Entry is free but donations are certainly appreciated.
