The 15th edition of the Underwater Competition Series returns! And once again, we have more than $100,000 worth of prizes up for grabs.
Opening today, December 13th, the series comprises the Masters Competition, the “Super Bowl” of underwater imaging events, and the DEEP Indonesia Competition, the signature component of Indonesia’s popular diving, adventure travel and extreme sports expo.
The fabulous prizes include trips with some of the world’s top dive resorts and liveaboards, as well as awesome underwater photo and video gear. The prizes are awarded to winners in 10 categories, with the grand prizewinner of the Masters Competition receiving $1000 in cash for the “Best of Show” image.
As usual, photographers of all levels can enter, from beginner shooters to professional wildlife photographers and videographers. The Masters Competition features technical categories, while the DEEP Indonesia Competition offers themed categories. Once again, the contest judges consist of a distinguished panel of industry experts, including photographers, filmmakers and publishing professionals.
The organizers issued the following joint statement:
“In this milestone 15th year of the Underwater Competition Series, these contests remain among the most prestigious in the underwater imaging industry. We’re expecting nothing less than another barrage of stunning image and video entries vying for the spectacular selection of prizes. And we’re very sure our judging panels will once again have their work cut out for them!”
The Masters Competition winners will be announced on February 29, while the winners of the DEEP Indonesia Competition will be announced on March 26, with entries exhibited at the DEEP and EXTREME Indonesia 2020 show from April 2 to 5. The winning photographs will also be published by our international media partners, reaching an audience of millions.
The organizers are once again pleased to announce that 15 percent of entry proceeds will be donated to marine conservation efforts.
