EUROPEAN CLUB TROPHY
The Club Challenge
Your Club has a story to tell.
Freediving is much more than an athletic discipline. It is a culture, a community, a way of being together built over time: in the pool, in the open sea, aboard the boat. And around this community another shared passion has grown: underwater photography.
For the first time in Europe, freediving clubs, teams and underwater photography associations compete against each other through images.
Not the technically most perfect shot, but the soul of your reality: the focused gaze before the dive, the preparation, the dynamic, the buddy waiting on the surface, the underwater silence that becomes complicity. Authentic, lived moments, the kind that only someone who belongs to it can photograph.
⚠️ Images generated with artificial intelligence are not allowed.
How to participate
Each Club submits a portfolio of 3 photographs that tell its story and its identity. No professional equipment is required, just an authentic eye.
Entry fee: €20
Prize: €1,000
Awarded directly to the Club or association to support its growth: equipment, training, events, projects. Not a trophy. An investment in your future.
Show us who you are.
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.
Show us your dimension.
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.
