Global Underwater Explorers has announced their 2020 GUE.tv video contest, challenging underwater cinematographers to “connect the viewer to the majesty of the underwater world and focus on a particular aspect of the subject’s location, such as its unique ecology, ecosystem vulnerability, or marine life inhabitants.”

The contest opened last week and closes on September 30, 2020. Submissions must be between three and ten minutes long, and will be judged on creativity, message clarity and relevance, motivation and inspiration, overall impact, and editing and filming skills.
