Epson Red Sea Images Of The World Competition
Once again, Epson Red Sea World Of Underwater Images is holding their Images of The World contest that goes along with their shootout. The Images of the World contest is for all the photographers who aren't able to make it to Eilat for the shoot out.
For those that don't know, the Eilat shootout is quite the extravaganza. The event is held each year, and DPG is always there to cover it. Check out Keri's coverage from last years shootout if you missed it.
However, not everyone can get up from their desk, fly over to Eilat and participate. That's where the Images of the World contest comes in. Send in your best photographs by the October 15th deadline for a chance to win. More information on the categories below, and full details on their webpage.
