PADI is offering a unique prize to the winner of the PADI Diving Society's 2010 Member Card Photo Contest. The prize isn't cash or an expensive trip, but a chance to have your image be  recognized by thousands of divers. How so? The winning image will be featured on the PADI limited edition Society membership card. Talk about exposure... -Ed.

From PADI-

About the Contest:

Each year, the PADI Diving Society introduces a limited-edition Society membership card. In the past we’ve used photos from our own collections or invite renowned underwater photographers to provide striking images. However, with the growth of Digital Underwater Photography, and more and more divers capturing their underwater experiences, we decided to do something different for 2010 and create a worldwide search!

Judges from PADI and Sport Diver magazine will select three regional winners. Each PADI Diving Society office will then submit their regional winners in the 2010 Member Card Online Voting Contest. Voting will be open to everyone in October– look for opportunities to vote on this page, PADI’s Blog, MySpace and Facebook pages.

The final winner will be announced November 2009 and will receive a certificate, global recognition, plus bragging rights!

Voting begins October 1st - please check back then to cast your vote!

How can you participate?

Submit up to three photos of your best underwater or diving lifestyle photos as high resolution images minimum 300 dpi; in a horizontal digital image in proportion to 9.56 x 6.4cm or 3.75 x 2.5 inches.
