EUROPEAN CLUB TROPHY
The Club Challenge
Your club has a story to tell.
Freediving is much more than an athletic discipline. It’s a culture, a community, a way of being together built over time: in the pool, in open water, aboard the boat.
For the first time in Europe, freediving clubs compete against each other through photography.
Not the technically most perfect shot. The soul of your Club: the focused gaze before the dive, the preparation, the dynamic, the buddy waiting at the surface, the underwater silence that becomes complicity. Authentic, lived moments, the kind only someone who belongs to a Club can photograph.

Awarded directly to the Club to support its growth: equipment, training, events. Not a trophy. An investment in your future.

WILD BLUE
Open Water & Nature
One minute. Another world.
Silence. Concentration. The sea welcoming you as you descend, with control, with technique, with respect. Underwater, time changes, thoughts stop, the body finds a different rhythm. It’s an inner dialogue that few know and that words struggle to describe.
Wild Blue is the category dedicated to those who can photograph this dimension: the beauty of freediving in open water and natural environments.
We’re looking for the focus before the dive, the feeling of becoming one with the water, the joy of resurfacing, the creativity of those who turn freediving into visual art. Every authentic image is welcome, in full respect of safety protocols and the marine environment.
⚠️ AI-generated images are not permitted.
Entry fee: from €15
Prize: €800 (gross amount)
How to enter
Each photographer may submit up to 5 photographs, individually. Open to professional and amateur photographers worldwide.

INDOOR ELEGANCE
Indoor Elegance - Pool & Creative
The pool as a stage.
In the pool everything is controlled: the light, the water, the space. And it is precisely in this environment that freediving reveals two different souls, both extraordinary.
Capturing in an image what usually escapes the eye, this is the heart of Indoor Elegance. Freediving as an exploration of one’s own limits, the discovery of new emotions, a challenge with oneself. Effort that becomes technique, fear that becomes trust, the joy of overcoming what once seemed impossible.
On the other side, the pursuit of beauty: the pool that becomes a studio, the water that becomes light, the body that becomes form. Geometric compositions, suspended movements, curated images where freediving meets visual art.
Indoor Elegance celebrates both visions without hierarchy. Whether you photograph an athlete in competition or a model dancing underwater, what matters is the ability to turn a single instant into an image that lasts.
