Many congratulations to Cornelia Thieme of Gelnhausen, Germany for her winning entry in the Wetpixel 2012 Raja Ampat Entrance Tag Competition. Her graphic consists, at first glance, of a motif of two seahorses but on closer inspection also contains numerous other marine icons, including mantas, whale sharks and nautilus. Cornelia wins a holiday to Raja Ampat, and her tag will be displayed on all visiting divers’ BCDs next year.

On behalf of the judges, I would like to stress how high the caliber of the entries was this year and what a tough job it was to create a shortlist for the final 10. Congratulations are due not only to the winner, but to all those who produced such fantastic designs.
