16 Categories

This year we have made some very exciting category changes!

Mirrorless camera technology advanced at lightspeed in 2018 and many new systems are as good or better than DSLR's. Therefore we have merged our mirrorless categories into the "open" categories. This allowed for us to introduce four new and very promising categories - Novice Wide-Angle, Novice Macro, Blackwater, and Underwater Conservation. We can't wait to see what this amazing community of underwater photographers produces!
