If you or your company are shortlisted to win an award, Global Underwater Hub will work with you to produce a short, professional video showcasing your company and its capability, which will be shown to all guests at the awards ceremony. Whether you’re a winner or a runner-up, this can create a huge buzz around your company in the run up to the awards.

There are multiple awards in different categories and you can enter as many as you believe would apply to your company. The awards are free to enter and open to any company operating within the underwater sectors. You do not have to be a Global Underwater Hub member to enter the awards. Each application clearly lays out the criteria for entry and are straight-forward to complete.
