Deepvisions 2021 Open for Entries
The Scubashooters.net branded Deepvisions UWP award is up and running.
The 2021 edition is a special one as the globe is still struck by the pandemic affecting the diving industry in several ways. This is why they have called it the “renaissance” edition, because despite the great economical crisis the team were able to gather a great prize panel worth more than 60K USD.
The 2021 Deepvisions edition is characterized by a new international Jury whose members are top-notch, multi-awarded UW photographers well known inside the community and the scientific world. They are: David Salvatori from Italy (Head of Jury), Marco Colombo from Italy, Jerome Kim from Korea, Eduardo Acevedo from Spain, Filippo Borghi from Italy, Jose Luis Sandoval from Mexico and Ellen Cuylaerts from Belgium.
Among many historical brands supporting the competition over the years, this edition has seen new, important world players of the diving industry joining the sponsorship panel. They cannot all be mentioned here but they are all listed on the website: www.deepvisions.photo
There are 8 contest categories covering pretty much all the fields of underwater photography. Entries are accepted until the end of June 2021 and candidates are invited to upload their work after reading the rules available at www.deepvisions.photo
