The OZTek2019 Underwater Photographic Competition underwent a significant re-vamp and became a primarily OCEANIA competition - with only one category open to international photographers. The aim was to provide a showcase for, and to encourage Australian and New Zealand photographers
Winners are now on the website. Congratulations to all entries, and, of course, the winners - some beautiful images. See them here.
The Nikon Dive Shot of the Year had its debut in conjunction with the Nikon Surf Shot of the Year and as always, created huge interest. Congratulations to all the winners.
This competition was disrupted by COVID, like so much else but watch out for upcoming details now we have a new confirmed event date of 15/16 March, 2025.
The last competition was judged by a panel of experienced judges & photographers: Jayne Jenkins, Matty Smith, Chris Dalton and myself. Thank you everyone for your hard work.
