Deadline to enter images: 10 February 2010 at 10pm.
No of entries per participant: ONE ONLY.

  • Please read the rules below !
  • Although there is no rule to prevent you from entering a duplicated subject, this is often frowned upon by the voting audience.

    This competition is open to members only.

    You may submit any image that has not come first, second or third in a national or international competition (we are trying to promote new images) at 1024 pixels in width x 768 pixels in height or 1400 pixels in width 1050 pixels in height.

  • Each portfolio/image should be saved as one JPG image no bigger than 1400 pixels wide x 1050 pixels high.
  • The file size no greater than 1MB
  • Image manipulation is allowed, but bear in mind that this is an underwater photography competition, not a Photoshop creativity competition.
  • You can send your images several times, but we will only keep your latest entry. If you are a forum member (and fully paid-up BSoUP member), you will be able to log-in and change your entry up until the deadline.

Good luck !
