More about the Bob Commer Award
MARINE CONSERVATION CATEGORY
Underwater photographers have a responsibility to educate other divers and non-divers about issues related to the marine environment. We have first hand experience with those issues and the means to illustrate them to those who have limited or no underwater experience. This year NCUPS will help in this educational effort by offering a Marine Conservation category. The entries in this class should illustrate a marine conservation issue; whether it is an endangered or rare species or environment, an illustration of a non-sustainable fishery; or something more positive such as re-growth of an environment, return of an endangered species, or an illustration of the benefits of artificial reefs. Open to still images taken underwater anywhere in the world. Please see the rules and regulations for more information.
Still images only (for this first year). Proceeds to be donated to a marine conservation/environmental educational organization of NCUPS choosing. Winning images to be displayed with description, on a special marine conservation page on the NCUPS website.
DIGITAL STILL, PRINT AND VIDEO ONLY!
Beginning with 2007 SEA will no longer offer any 35 mm slide categories. Slides may be scanned and submitted in digital still classes with the same specifications as images taken with a digital still camera.
