Global Travel Photo Contest

The Art League of Ocean City is launching their Global Travel Photo Contest, running from February 2026 to June 2026. The world’s largest billfish tournament, White Marlin Open, is sponsoring this amazing opportunity. The contest will be open to all to participate. By entering, your photos will be viewed by members and supporters of the Art League of Ocean City. Reaching nearly 20,000 visitors just this year, your potential for new followers is immense. Plus all those that watch and join in on the festivities and competition of the White Marlin Open fishing tournament with 3,000 anglers and thousands more event attendees.

White Marlin Open will be providing the cash prizes as well as the potential to choose a select number of images to be featured on screen during its very own competition. Given White Marlin Open’s alignment with the theme of world scale adventure, this collaboration emphasizes the spirit of discovery, showcasing the connection between travel and the natural environment. The Global Travel Photo Contest encourages participants to capture and share the awe-inspiring moments that connect people globally, whether through the thrill of sportfishing or the art of photography.

The Art League of Ocean City is an economic driver, cultural hub, and tourism attraction for the Delmarva area. ALOC offers a variety of community programs, including free afterschool art programs for public schools in some of the most underserved areas of Worcester County. This contest is another effort to raise awareness and funds to support these critical programs, while also celebrating the art of photography. You could be part of that effort!

We invite you to submit, compete, and share your image and this opportunity with your friends and family both far and near.
