DPG is very proud to announce the opening of the Fourth Think Pink Photo Competition, organized by nonprofit organization Dive into the Pink, and hosted by DPG, with proceeds used to support the fight against breast cancer. This year, the judging panel is made up of pro underwater shooters Tobias Friedrich, Ron Watkins, and Todd Winner.

We’re once again talking all things PINK! We want to see your most eye-popping images featuring the color pink, from the hue of your foreground subject to the pink polyps in the background reef, from an intense fuchsia to a delicate rosé. This year, we’re keeping it simple with a single category, Pink Portrait—any portrait of an animal underwater, wide angle or macro, that incorporates the color pink (the smallest bit counts!) into the composition and displays the creature’s unique personality or characteristics. The image may have been taken anywhere, anytime. (For inspiration, see the winners of the First, Second or Third Think Pink Photo Competitions.)

This year’s awesome prize sponsors include Crystal Blue Resort, Anilao, Philippines, Backscatter Underwater Photography & Video, and Ultralight Camera Solutions.

​Entry is via donation to Dive into the Pink ($15 per single entry or $35 for three entries). The deadline for submission is August 25th, 12am EST.
 

Please read the full Rules and Guidelines (on DiveIntoThePink.org) before entering.

Thank you for supporting Dive into the Pink! 100% of the proceeds from this effort will be used to support the fight against breast cancer.

About Dive into the Pink

Dive into the Pink, Inc. was started in 2015 by Allison Vitsky, a breast cancer survivor, veteran scuba diver, and underwater photographer, who wanted to raise money to fight cancer in an unconventional way—by going scuba diving with friends.

Its charters let divers get together for a fun, pink-accented day on the ocean knowing that 100% of the proceeds will go towards survivor support and breast cancer research.

Its funds are split between the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) and the Guise Laboratory at Indiana University.  The YSC is an international organization dedicated to the critical issues of young women with breast cancer—specifically, Dive into the Pink supports and promotes the YSC's incredible patient support network. The Guise Laboratory is part of the Department of Endocrinology at Indiana University; funds are earmarked for a project examining whether characteristics of the bone marrow microenvironment can alter or promote the spread of breast and other cancers to the bones.

Dive into the Pink is a salary-free, low-administrative cost 501c3 organization.
