DPG/Wakatobi Underwater Photo & Video Festival (27-06-2007)

Situated in a small archipelago just Southeast of Sulawesi, in central Indonesia, Wakatobi is truly a slice of paradise with exceptional diving and endless photo and video opportunities. So where better to hold an underwater photo and video festival!

You can choose to spend a week on board the Pelagian live aboard, or a week at Wakatobi resort - or both! There's plenty of opportunity to participate and hone your underwater photo or video skills among some of the healthiest reefs in the world.

While at the resort, photographers and videographers will be able to focus on wide angle and macro all day long, both on scheduled boat dives or on the world famous house reef, consistently referred to as the best house reef in the world. Guests aboard the Pelagian will dive further into the archipelago, including a recently discovered muck site.

Most evenings will be set aside for reviews and screenings of the day's images and videos. Three workshops will be held during each week for novice to intermediate shooters who wish to polish up on some of the essential skills needed to capture the beauty of the life on the reefs.

Both weeks will culminate in a contest where each participant can enter their best images and videos from the week for a chance to win over $10,000 in prizes! The "shootout" format will be split into "open" and "novice" categories. Participants found harassing the reef or otherwise being environmentally unfriendly will be automatically disqualified.
