The Turks & Caicos Fourth Annual Underwater Photographic Competition
Will Soon Be Underway!
Dive Provo will once again be an Official Sponsor of the Annual Underwater
Photographic Competition, which runs June 1 - September 30, 2008. Along with
$10,000 in cash prizes and approximately $25,000 in subsidiary prizes such as
dive travel, cameras and photographic equipment, the Grand Prize Winners will
have their photographs published by the Government of the Turks & Caicos Islands
as a set of COMMEMORATIVE POSTAGE STAMPS, each bearing a winning photograph, the
photographer's name and country of origin |
|
Winning photographs and those worthy of
"Honorable Mention" will also be included in an annual, international “Out
Of The Blue” calendar presenting excellence in underwater photography with
each photograph assigned to a particular month of the year.
Underwater photographers who wish to enter the Competition must take their
photographs in the Turks & Caicos during the months of June, July, August
or September of 2008. Each participant must apply for an Official
ID Card so they are recognized as a competitor but the Competition imposes
no restrictions on artistic expression. Photographers are not limited to any
particular brand of camera or equipment, nor are they restricted to the
number of photographs they choose to take. However, final entries are
confined to the five (5) photographs each competitor considers his or her
best. Rules & Regulations are posted on the Competition's web site along
with last year's winning photographs.

The appropriate participation and entry forms can also be downloaded off the
Contest web site.
