Vi segnalo questo CONCORSO INTERNAZIONALE che si svolgerà a Cipro in giugno.
Il montepremi è interessante e potrebbe essere un'idea per una vacanza "alternativa", e comunque un'ottima occasione per mettersi in gioco e confrontarsi con fotografi di talento provenienti da tutto il mondo, per fare nuove amicizie e condividere esperienze e conoscenze.
Interessanti le categorie "Zenobia", riferita a immagini scattate sul relitto Zenobia, appunto, e "Nudo", inserita in onore di Mike Portelly, grande fotografo subacqueo da poco scomparso. questo il comunicato stampa (che non ho ancora tradotto, beccatevelo in inglese
):
L'organizzazione è la medesima del concorso di Eilat, cui Scubaportal ha partecipato nel 2008 e che riproporremo a brevissimo, e come sempre gli sponsor mettono a disposizione premi di indubbio valore.

Mike Portelly, one of the most talented and famous creators in the underwater photography community, passed away about a year ago, leaving many of his worshippers still with a taste for more. David Pilosof, publisher of the “Yam” magazine, creator of the Aphrodite Cyprus Experience competition and a close friend of Portelly’s, felt that his name should be perpetuated, positive that his work will serve as a great source of inspiration for young photographers and creators.
“Portelly’s photograph was the one to appear on the first “Yam” magazine cover, 24 years ago”, says Pilosof. “It was only natural that on the upcoming Aphrodite Cyprus Experience Competition we will create a category to perpetuate his name and wonderful art”.
“Many photographers, including myself, were very much inspired by Portelly’s work throughout the years and I have no doubt that wherever he is watching us from, he will be delighted to see many new and young photographers competing in a category named after him”, says Pilosof.
And so, Pilosof decided to announce the “Fashion & Nudity” category in memory of Mike Portelly on the Aphrodite Cyprus Experience competition, as fashion and nudity were two aspects very much involved in Portelly’s photographs.
The category consists of 5 best underwater fashion images, while at least one of them has to feature elements of nudity. The winner will be granted with no less than 4000 Euro in cash and a three weeks diving trip to Papua New Guinea , including airfare , a prize worth $20,000 all together.
Looking to the ongoing success of this exciting category in memory of Portelly, next year Pilosof plans to also involve leading fashion houses and the FTV fashion channel, providing photographers participating in the competition with an opportunity to accomplish worldwide exposure and fulfill their dreams.
