Marseille: 38. FESTIVAL MONDIAL DE L’IMAGE SOUS-MARINE

[Uwe Schmolke]

Hallo,
ich habe diese Einladung erhalten:

Dear Madam, Sir,

The World Festival of Underwater Pictures will take place for the
third successive year at the Palais du Pharo in Marseille, from 26 to
30 October 2011.

Japan will be honored all along this edition.

ENTRIES FOR THE 2011 COMPETITION ARE NOW OPEN
http://www.underwater-festival.com/Reglement-en.html

The "Photo-Trio" category, launched last year was a great success with
more than 100 competitors. This competition asks photographers to enter three digital photographs without any limitations on style. It’s open to everyone, professionals and amateurs, as are all the Festival competitions, but it is aimed more specifically at amateur participants who don’t have the possibility of entering a series of ten images each year, as required by the Portfolio category.
Participants in this new competition may also participate in other competitions in the Festival, as long as their images do not appear in two different categories.

Some reminders for the photographers:
The "Our World Underwater Scholarship Society" prize will be attributed to a photo entered in one of the Festival competitions (colour print or black & white print) taken by a young photographer not more than 25 years old.
The prize of the French Conchology Association (AFC) and the "Jorge Albuquerque” prize will be awarded either to an image entered in the Conchology competition itself or in the other photographic competitions (print, Portfolio, or Photo-Trio). The Andre Laban prize, the “Blue Passion” will reward an image entered in the “Colour Photo” category.
Attention, the "Apnéa" prize for the best photo of a free-diving subject is not a competition but a prize awarded to the best image on this theme in any of the different photo competitions (colour print, black and white print, Portfolio, or Photo-Trio). The same applies for the "Ocean Geographic Society" prize for the best image of a jellyfish. Keep this in mind when you are selecting your photos.
You will find Regulations and opportunity to register online on our website (www.underwater-festival.com). Please pay attention to the regulations in order to avoid mistakes.

Attention : Last date for receiving entries, 15th September


The 38th edition of the World Festival of Underwater Pictures looks promising and its organisation in Marseille is well appreciated by the majority of people.
The Festival is open to all, professionals, amateurs and all lovers of the underwater world.
