California Beach and Boat Dive Photo/Video Competition 2010
August 6-8, 2010 in Monterey, California
| Mark your calendar and book your motel for the funnest underwater photography event on the West Coast! On August 6-8, 2010 SCUBA divers from Seattle to San Diego will converge on Monterey, California to compete for top prizes in one of the most unique underwater photo competitions in the United States. This is a 24-hour competition open to all underwater photographers and videographers of all experience levels. All photos (and videos), must be taken in Monterey bay. A panel of judges, comprised of professional photographers, will select the winners on Sunday, August 8, with the winners being announced and prizes awarded on Sunday afternoon. |
New this yearBoat Diving - From kayaks to yachts, entrants can now shoot the waters of the Monterey Peninsula aboard private and commercial watercraft. |
| Video! - Yes, there will be video categories again this year at the competition. With so few film shooters left in the 2008 competition, the decision was made last year to discontinue film categories. So only digital still and video entries will be accepted. |
| Early Registration - For those who want to get an early start, registration will begin on Friday afternoon. Contestants will be able to enter photos and videos taken on both Friday evening and Saturday. |
