The hunt is on…

The hunt is on to find the photographer who will be jetting off to the Red Sea free of charge to represent Australia and New Zealand at this year’s Epson Red Sea 2009 contest.

Australia and New Zealand Photographer of the Year
Between the months of May and August, an online photography contest will be held in partnership with Sport Diving Magazine. Amateur and professional photographers from all over Australia and New Zealand are invited to submit a series of 3 digital photos.

The online vote will start on September 1st and will continue until September 30th.
The winner chosen both by online voters and by a panel of 5 judges, will be the photographer who has submitted the best overall portfolio of three images rather than the best image.
The winner will be announced on October 5th, 2009.

The Photographer of the Year will have his/her flights, accommodation and diving costs covered to compete at the Epson- Red Sea 2009 shoot-out in Eilat.
