NUPG to hold Underwater Photography Print Competition at The Great Northern Dive Show
For the second year in succession, the Northern Underwater Photography Group (NUPG) are holding their Open Print Competition at The Great Northern Dive Show. The very best entries will be displayed at the event over the weekend of the 8th and 9th April 2017, where the public attending will vote for their favourite images. Last year was a huge success with over 400 votes being cast and this year is going to be even bigger and better.
Want to enter? You do not have long! You need to get your prints sent to the NUPG by 31st March 2017. There are some great prizes up for grabs this year, with each category winner receiving a shark sponsorship pack from The Shark Trust, sponsored by the NUPG. These category winners will be chosen by the general public. In addition to this, there will be an overall UK image winner and an overall overseas image winner, and they will win the chance to experience some fantastic diving with Fleet Dive in the Costa Brava, Spain or with Safari Diving in Lanzarote.
Entry to the competition is FREE – so what is stopping you? There are 4 categories to enter into: UK Macro, UK Wide Angle, Overseas Macro and Overseas Wide Angle. Your images must have been taken within 12 months of the competition (so on or after 8th April 2016). You can enter up to four A4 prints into the competition with no more than two in any given category.

Stahlsac dive bags and travel luggage are built for our community of divers, surfers, kayakers and outdoor explorers who need bags that are constructed with durability, toughness, and 
the highest quality the industry has ever seen. We were founded by one man determined to build better watersports and dive bags, and today, that mission is carried on by many. Adventure doesn’t just present itself; it requires discovery. When we design dive bags, we make sure they are tough enough for you to explore in all conditions—warm and cold, wet and dry—to the nearest and farthest reaches of the earth. And for those times you want to push the boundaries of adventure, Stahlsac dive bags make sure you can truly GO ANYWHERE.
