After a mid-year start to our new concept, the world's first perpetual underwater shootout competition which started halfway through 2014 as an evolution of the popular Underwater Festival established 8 years ago, the Underwater Project is announcing a partnership with the largest global online and pdf dive magazine, X-Ray Mag.

And with the global scope of X-Ray Mag in mind, we decided to expand the horizons of the Underwater Project to a global one. From the 1st of January 2015 you can shoot globally to become part of the growing Underwater Project.

The Underwater Project is much more than a competition. As the name suggest we have taken the best of the Underwater Festival and have evolved it into a continuous event. A project that continues to share the beauty and the issues of the underwater world and shows the world what we have to lose.

The Underwater Project will create and support unique local events across the globe throughout the year. Any dive centre, resort, live aboard or dive club can become an Underwater Project Fringe Event host.

New features of the Underwater Project

 

  • A great new fully featured Underwater Project Snapshot Map with entries from past years included (for now just 2013/14)
  • Every member has their own stunning portfolio site with personal snapshot map and personal gallery. If you have been participating in the Underwater Festival in previous years, your past entries are part of your portfolio
  • Collect and display awards and achievements (coming soon).
  • Your Underwater Festival login and password will work on the project website
  • Your Underwater Festival login and password will work on the project website
  • No more entry fees - a simple annual membership

 

There is no charge for individual image or video uploads, instead a simple annual membership fee of U$50 to join the Underwater Project. Standard membership entitles to 5 photo or 2 video uploads per month,  Premium memberships are available.

Submitted entries will be screened by the Underwater Project team. Entires that pass this first round of judgement will be appearing on the official Underwater Project Snapshot Map and in your portfolio.

Screened images will be judged annually by the established Underwater Project judging panel including Mathieu Meur, Gary Bell, Stephen Wong, Takako Uno, Kevin Deacon and David Warth, and we aim to again offer up to $100,000 in prizes.

Two step judging - participation is what matters

 

All year round you can upload your images and clip links to the Underwater Project website. Photos and Videos have to be uploaded in the month AFTER the month they were taken - you no no longer need to change the camera date to participate. 

Anybody that joined before December 2014 will have their membership extended to cover the whole of 2015 as well. Please help us to create all the amazing features we have planned for the Underwater Project and JOIN NOW!

Help us spread the word

 

Please help us spread the word about the Underwater Project with our fantastic new banners and logos and link them back to the Underwater Project site

We are looking for social media marketing volunteers to help spread this project across the planet. If you know your way around there and have some time to give, please get in touch.

See you underwater,
