The 2022 Australian Surfing Awards have announced their Top 10 Surf Photos Of The Year. 

Evident by the epic submissions for the 2022 Surf Photo of The Year Award category, Australian surf photography has continued to flourish in the past twelve months.

There were a variety of land and water-based frames for the judges to choose from, as icons and upcoming photographers alike entered their best work to compete.

As it is every year, the Surf Photo of The Year Award was hotly contested with the top ten images of an extremely high standard. For the tenth year running the submissions were judged by a panel of thirteen high-profile individuals within the surfing industry.

“Everyone always looks forward to seeing captivating high-quality images as produced in the Surf Photo of The Year Award category each and every year, 2021 being no different. Congratulations to everyone that submitted their work and a special mention to the epic top ten images. Good luck on the night!" says Chris Mater, CEO, Surfing Australia.
