This exhibition showcases underwater images from members of the Nautilus Scuba Club Cairns who have entered the club’s annual underwater photo competition.
The categories include Macro, Portrait, Wide Angle and Behaviour. They provide the viewer with a glimpse into the fascinating and diverse creatures and scenery that exist beneath the surface of our oceans; not just on the Great Barrier Reef but also all the other diverse places our club members go diving.
There is a themed category entitled Great Barrier Reef along with a Portfolio Category, in which photographers enter a set of five images that demonstrate their range of skills across several categories or styles.
This year there is an emphasis on encouraging new entrants and so categories have also been added for mobile phones/Go Pros, New Photographer and a Junior award to encourage our younger members to participate. There is also a Video category this year.
The images are judged anonymously by independent professional and award-winning photographers. This year the judges are Stuart Ireland, Jayne Jenkins and Anita Verde, with very special Guest Judge Valerie Taylor - and not forgetting you, the audience, for the People’s Choice Award.
AWARDS NIGHT: 6PM Saturday 10 August
