A new photography contest has launched celebrating marine biodiversity in honour of World Environment Day and World Oceans Day.
Launched by social enterprise Positive Travel – an organisation promoting and developing sustainable travel options – the Life Under Water Challenge is now calling for entries of incredible marine photography, from sea life, to underwater activities, to ocean landscapes.
As well as stunning photography, the contest is looking for entries with stories of efforts to conserve and nurture our oceans and marine life behind the photos.
Up for grabs in the photography contest is three incredible luxury eco-stays for three winners of the contest. The three winning entries will include a Public Favourite choice, selected by an online public vote; a Judges’ Favourite, selected by an esteemed judging panel of eco-travel activists and influencers, and a Positive Travel Favourite selected by the Positive Travel team. Both the quality of the photography and the impact of the entrants’ positive actions to help our marine biodiversity will be assessed as part of the judging process.
The winner of the Public Favourite choice will receive a fabulous two-night stay at the blissful Fontsanta Hotel Thermal Spa & Wellness, a 5-star retreat located in Southern Mallorca.
On offer for the winning Judges’ Favourite is a three-night stay at the charming Nobnocket Boutique Inn, located in the iconic Martha’s Vineyard.
The Positive Travel Favourite will be treated to an exquisite three-night stay at the luxe Chateau St Pierre de Serjac in France.
Entries for the competition are open now. Entrants can submit their photo either on the online entry form or via Instagram. If entering via Instagram entrants must use the hashtag #LifeUnderWaterChallenge and tag @inspiring.positive.travel.
The winners of the Public Favourite and Judges’ Favourite will be announced on 5th June in line with World Environment Day, while the winner of the Positive Travel Favourite will be announced on World Oceans Day on 8th June.
