By Matt J. Weiss, June 13, 2011 @ 10:31 AM (EST)

One of the most prestigious underwater photo contests, the The World Festival of Underwater Pictures, will take place in Marseille again. The Festival, which used to be held in Antibes, is in it's 38th year. They are now accepting entries to the competition. You can find out more at underwater-festival.com.

Full Press Release below.

The World Festival of Underwater Pictures will take place for the third successive year at the Palais du Pharo in Marseille, from 26 to 30 October 2011

Japan will be honored all along this edition.

ENTRIES FOR THE 2011 COMPETITION ARE NOW OPEN



The "Photo-Trio" category, launched last year was a great success withmore than 100 competitors. This competition asks photographers to enter three digital photographs without any limitations on style. It s open to everyone, professionals and amateurs, as are all the Festival competitors, but it is aimed more specifically at amateur participants who don t have the option of entering a series of ten images each year, as required by the Portfolio category.

Participants in this new competition may also participate in other competitions in the Festival, as long as their images do not appear in two different categories.

Some reminders for the photographers:


The "Our World Underwater Scholarship Society" prize will be attributed to a photo entered in one of the Festival category (colour print or black & white print) taken by a young photographer not more than 25 years old.

The prize of the French Conchology Association (AFC) and the "Jorge

Albuquerque  prize will be awarded either to an image entered in the Conchology competition itself or in the other photographic categories (print, Portfolio, or Photo-Trio).

The Andre Laban prize, the  Blue Passion  will reward an image entered in the  Colour Photo  category.

Attention, the "Apnéa" prize for the best photo of a free-diving subject is not a category but a prize awarded to the best image on this theme in any of the different photo categories (colour print, black and white print, Portfolio, or Photo-Trio).

The same applies for the "Ocean Geographic Society" prize for the best image of a jellyfish. Keep this in mind when you are selecting your photos.

You will find Regulations and opportunity to register online on our website. Please pay attention to the regulations in order to avoid mistakes.

Attention : Last date for receiving entries, 15th September


The Festival is open to all, professionals, amateurs and all lovers of the underwater world.
