Enter Scuba Diving Magazine's 2020 Underwater Photo Contest

CATEGORY DESCRIPTIONS

BEHAVIOR
Over the past several years we’ve noticed an uptick in amazing wildlife encounter and marine life behavior images. From a daddy clownfish caring for their eggs to two dueling eels, this category encompasses imagery that tells a greater story of an animal encounter or interaction.

COMPACT CAMERA
When we added the compact camera category to Through Your Lens in 2015, it was all about inclusivity, acknowledging how many divers have taken up photography. Yet, partly because of rapid advances in camera technology, this category quickly became a powerhouse, consistently yielding wide-angle and macro images as compelling as those entered in our more-traditional categories.

WIDE-ANGLE
When you think of the images that made you want to be a diver, more than likely you recall colorful landscapes of vibrant reefs, or epic show of big animals on the move. Wide-angle images show the ocean in all its glory, and have a special power to move us through the stories they can tell.

MACRO
It’s the little things that can be overlooked amid the bustle of the underwater world. Magnified, these tiny creatures gained standing through photography, where their exquisite colors; patterns and features never cease to amaze. Great macro photography takes a tiny subject — often smaller than a quarter — and brings it to life a way that provides a connection for viewers.
