The 2013 University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science Underwater Photography Contest is calling for entries. The contest is open to amateur photographers who earn no more than 20 percent of their income from photography. The deadline for entries is May 17th.

Since its inception in 2005, the contest has drawn entrants from across the globe submitting more than 400 images per year. Photographs are judged in five separate categories: Fish or Marine Animal Portrait, Macro, Wide Angle, UM Student, and Best Overall. The winning images are displayed on our website as well as in a traveling exhibit throughout the South Florida community.
