CREATIVE VISION category, The Pascal Lecocq Award of Excellence.
Stunning submissions once again this year —hats off to all participants! Many creations echo those submitted and awarded in the past decade: views from above and below, striking visual effects, the raw beauty of the underwater world, and models in apnea…
The Creative Vision Award has been designed to emphasize both Creation —artistic skill and an imaginative mind— and Vision, giving the artwork a dual purpose: to bear witness to the beauty of our Blue World and to artistically warn us about our impact on it.
CONGRATULATIONS Pietro Cremone – Winner of Creative Vision category OGPicoty 2025.
The Creative Vision Award has been designed to emphasize both Creation —artistic skill and an imaginative mind— and Vision, giving the artwork a dual purpose: to bear witness to the beauty of our Blue World and to artistically warn us about our impact on it.
With that in mind, the most powerful image this year is CV-027. More than a thousand words, it speaks through nature’s horror, saying everything. If her cry cannot reach our ears, we cannot remain blind to its message. Let’s hope it touches our hearts.
CONGRATULATIONS Eser Pasa – Runner Up of Creative Vision category OGPicoty 2025
Celebrating Pure Beauty and Artistic Mastery
While the concerns for our planet remain, let us also take a moment to honor pure artistic brilliance—those who capture and share the marvels of the underwater world through their unique vision. This award recognizes not just the beauty of the ocean but the artistic eye that preserves and conveys its magic to the world.
CONGRATULATIONS Sunbong Jung– Honorable Mention of Creative Vision category OGPicoty 2025
In a field I am less familiar with—digital imaging, gaming, and visual effects (VFX)—where the criteria differ from those of classical painting or photography, it is the message of the image, along with its uniquely creative composition, that compels me to honor this submission. The irreversibility of our planet’s destruction is alarming, and this artwork expresses it with both power and impact.
CONGRATULATIONS Martin Colognoli – Honorable Mention of Creative Vision category OGPicoty 2025
The Ocean’s Veil—A Tribute to Symbiosis
A delicate and original sea net for a mermaid, symbolizing the harmony between life above and below the water’s surface. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of symbiosis, weaving together nature’s fluid elegance and the artist’s vision to remind us of the invisible ties that unite all living beings in the great blue expanse.
