Up to 100
Founding Contributor recognition is intentionally limited to preserve its meaning.
Help build the collection
Become part of NBM's founding story.
Naturally Buoyant Media plans to recognize up to 100 early contributors whose original work helps establish the collection before launch.
Visible credit
Published contributions are credited to the contributor and may connect to a contributor profile.
Photos and videos
Original diving photographs and videos can be submitted through NBM's contribution workflows.
Who can contribute
Recreational divers, technical divers, underwater photographers, videographers, instructors, explorers, historians, scientists, and other members of the diving community can all help document the underwater world.
Editorial and rights review
Every submission is reviewed for publication readiness, contributor rights, privacy, safety, and technical quality. Contributors must have the right to share what they submit.
Acceptance does not guarantee placement, prominence, a particular page, or a specific display period. Accepted media may remain in the NBM collection and appear in galleries or archives if its primary placement changes.
