The organisers of the San Sebastián International Underwater Film Festival (CIMASUB) are pleased to announce that the call for entries is now open for our annual competition, which this year celebrates its 49th edition. Once again, we invite photographers, filmmakers and lovers of the underwater world from all over the world to share their underwater gaze.
The deadline for submissions is 15 September 2025 and, as in previous editions, photo galleries, short films and documentaries that highlight the beauty, biodiversity and fragility of our oceans are eligible.
Our goal remains the same: to give visibility to the underwater world, to raise ecological awareness through images, and to move the public by showing what goes on under the surface of the sea. Because you only protect what you love, and you only love what you know.
This year, more prizes than ever!
Thanks to the support of new sponsors, in 2025 we are significantly expanding the prize pool. All gold winners in each category will receive a trip as part of the prize, in addition to the usual awards. Yes, all of them!
New award highlights include:
Atmosphere Resorts & Spa Award: 4 nights in Deluxe Suite for two, breakfast included, 10 dive package per person, and round-trip Dumaguete-Atmosphere air transfers. A gift valued at over €2,500.
Anilao Beach & Dive Resort Award: 7 nights in Superior room with full board, 12 Nitrox dives, and transfer Manila-Anilao-Manila. Accompanying person only pays 50%. Valid for July, August or September. Valued at more than €2,000.
And as every year, our star grand prizes: two live-aboard cruises with theS.M.Y. Ondina in Indonesia, with a companion for 50%. A unique experience worth more than €6,000 each.
These prizes, added to the more than €25,000 in total value, make CIMASUB 2025 a particularly attractive edition for creators from all over the world.
All the necessary information to participate, including the competition rules, the entry form, the prizes and access to the FilmFreeway platform, is already available on our website. In addition, we offer the promotional code CimasubFamily2025 to make participation from FilmFreeway free of charge.
During the month of October we will announce the list of winners, which will be communicated via email, our website, social networks and media. The final touch will be the festival, which will be held on 13, 14 and 15 November 2025 at the Teatro Principal in San Sebastián, where we will screen a careful selection of the best works received and experience, once again this year, the magic of underwater cinema on the big screen.
CIMASUB is much more than a festival. It is a community of people united by their passion for the sea, art and dissemination. Every year we are moved by your talent, your creativity and your commitment. We dream of meeting again this November with old friends and new perspectives, to continue learning, enjoying and defending the ocean together.
Congratulations to Andrey Shpatak, whose photograph, with which he participated in last year's edition and which was officially selected for the CIMASUB photo exhibitions, has been chosen as the official poster image for this year's edition.
Thank you for joining us. Thank you for making CIMASUB so great.
We look forward to receiving your works with great enthusiasm!
