NUPG Underwater Photography print competition: call for entries
After two successful years, the Northern Underwater Photography Group will be running their Open Print Competition at the Great Northern Dive Show being held on the 17th and 18th February 2018 at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. Last year this proved very popular with over 300 votes being cast on the day.
Entry to the competition is FREE and OPEN to anyone but you do not have long. You need to get your prints sent to the NUPG by 5th February 2018.
You may enter up to four A4 size prints in total, with no more than two in any of the four categories.
The categories are UK Macro, UK Wide-angle, Overseas Macro and Overseas Wide-angle. Images should have been taken on or after 5th February 2017.
Once again 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 winner who will win the chance to experience some fantastic diving with Fleet Dive in the Costa Brava, Spain. By the time of the show there may well be more prizes.
For more details on rules and where to send your images to be in with a chance of your images being displayed at The Great Northern Dive Show, visit The NUPG website, The Great Northern Dive Show NUPG Open Print Competition 2018. Remember, the deadline is the 5th February – so get printing your A4 images soon!
If you would like to share the details of the competition with your club members, friends and underwater photographers you think will do well, save the flyer below and share it on social media or print and display.
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
