Monthly Underwater Photography Contest Series – DivePhotoGuide.com

Underwater photography enthusiasts listen up! DivePhotoGuide.com is hosting a monthly themed contest. Here is the article:

We are proud to announce the guidelines for the monthly Underwater Photography Contest Series. The contests are free to enter and each month we will be giving away a valuable prize - because you deserve it...and that’s how we roll!

Below you will find a link to all upcoming contests themes, links to archives, as well the general guidelines and rules, which will apply for all contests.

Here’s how it works.

Each month we will be announcing a contest theme. You can easily enter by uploading up to three images into your DPG gallery. The editorial staff of DivePhotoGuide will select a first, second and third place winner. While only first place winners will receive the monthly prize, all three monthly winners will receive an award certificate and will be entered into an annual contest for a chance at the grand prize, which will be awarded based on votes from the DivePhotoGuide community. Monthly prizes will include underwater photo equipment, scuba diving equipment, apparel, and of course dive trips!

Entering the monthly contests is easy.

- You can add images to one of your existing galleries on DPG or create a new gallery just for your contest entries

- In either case your images will be entered into the monthly contest as long as it includes a specific tag that we will provide for each month’s contest theme. The tag is easy to add to the image while uploading. Please be sure to copy the tag exactly as instructed for each contest.

Compete, Have Fun, & Earn Prizes

The DPG community is comprised of the best underwater photographers from all corners of the world. The level of talent never ceases to impress us.
