he goal of the competition is to showcase the Australian public’s ‘vision’ of the value of our coral reefs and the threats that they currently face. These “values” include social activities and recreational pastimes such as diving, snorkelling, sailing and fishing, traditional cultural activities for many indigenous Australians and commercial ventures such as tourism and gathering seafood.
Winning entries will be used in our campaigns to help us raise awareness about the beauty and the issues facing coral reefs. Our online gallery will open for submissions between May 1st and June 30th 2008. From July 1st Reef Check Australia members will be invited to vote for their favourite entries on the internet through until the 31st August. Any member of the general public can become a Reef Check Australia member free-of-charge and join our competition.
Participants can submit digital images through the online gallery system available here . Digital files including scanned transparencies and photographs are all acceptable provided they meet the entry criteria summarised in rule 3. A maximum of one entry per person per category will be accepted.
In addition to the online voting system the panel of judges will be looking for original, beautiful or striking shots that capture the overall theme of the competition and/or each of the component categories. Entries to this competition are not limited to underwater photography but rather to entries that capture the relationship(s) between human beings and coral reef ecosystems.
