In honour of the first annual ADEX China in Shanghai, underwater3some is relaunching the internationally renowned Through The Lens International Underwater Photography Competition. ADEX China, the International Underwater Sports and Travel Expo (IUST), is the worlds first expo that brings together all the major underwater sports with the destinations that play host to them, and the operators that can get you there.
AUSTRALASIA Underwater is about celebrating images taken in Asia-Pacific. With five exciting categories, incredible prizes to be won, and a high-profile exhibition of 25 shortlisted images at the Malaysia International Dive Expo (MIDE) from June 6 to 8, 2014, this competition is not to be missed.
AUSTRALASIA Underwater will reach its climax at ADEX China in September when the winners will be announced at a LIVE JUDGING event, featuring a panel of world-renowned members of the underwater photography community providing invaluable insights on what they look for in a winning picture. Fantasitic prizes will be awarded to the winner and one runner-up in each category.
THE PEOPLES CHOICE

FREE ENTRY!
This year only, the AUSTRALASIA Underwater Photo Competition is FREE to enter, in honour of the competitions relaunch.
CATEGORIES
Macro
For lovers of small critters and big lenses, we are looking for the images that bring Asia-Pacifics aquatic environments up-close and personal.
Wide-angle
Asia-Pacific is home to some of the worlds most charismatic fauna and some stunning underwater vistas. We are looking for the wide-angle shots that reveal them in all their glory.
Compact Camera
Your rig may be small, but your ambitions need not be. Todays technology makes it possible to use compact cameras to capture world-class images, and we want to see what compact users can do with Asia-Pacifics rich subject matter.
Conservation Photography
Photography is a powerful tool in the fight to protect our fragile aquatic ecosystems. Successful conservation photographs can be shocking or heartwarming, hopeful or horrific. Photos submitted to this category should highlight environmental issues facing Asia-Pacifics oceans.
Underwater China
Showcasing Chinas diverse underwater worlds. Images can have been taken in fresh or salt, deep or shallow water, but they MUST have been taken in China.
SPONSORS
Competition sponsors so far include MIDE, Mares, DAN Asia-Pacific, DivePhotoGuide.com, Siladan Resort and Spa, and Fun-In Underwater Photo Equipment
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 30, 2014, 23:59 SGT
