Epson World Shootout 2011

Underwater Photography Grand Prix

In August 2011, the whole globe becomes one huge underwater festival...

Epson Red Sea is known worldwide as the international underwater photography Olympics and has awarded photographers with prizes worth more than $450,000 during the past 6 years.

The 8 day World Shoot-Out will take place in August 1-8, 2011, in any natural water resource found around the world, including seas, oceans, lakes, rivers, under the ice and more. Any photographer can take part in the competition by diving in a familiar or favorite destination during the days of the shoot-out.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for underwater photographers all around the world to either take a few days off for the sake of some diving in their local area, or to finally book the holiday they've been dreaming of in an exotic dive destination, on a live aboard or in a dive resort.
