Just over one day to go!

Most importantly - if you are signed up are still considering - set your cameras to 2017 now, so you don't forget (date and time remains the same)

From this week Friday for 10 days, 100s of divers from around the world will submerge to help to create the 1st Underwater Snapshot of Australasia

You have 10 days to capture underwater australasia wherever you are between the 2nd and the 11th of September - the $150,000 prize pool is to our knowledge the biggest ever for any underwater photo competition in the world.

If you haven't bought your entry credits yet - NOW is a good time, check out the list of prizes

In addition to the very amazing prizes for best photos and videos we also have a huge set of Underwater Snapshot Participation Prizes that will be drawn amongst all entrants irrespective of their shootout entry submissions. This is to encourage wide participation in the Underwater Snapshot without the 'I won't enter because I'm not good enough' fear.

The shooutout entry conditions and rules are now online and we have added a QUICK version where you can understand the procedure of participating in 30 seconds!

Purchase you entry credits and T-Shirts now

Once you have your credits, you will see them appear in the 'My Festival' tab on the UF11 website. This is where you will upload your images to when the time comes. This will be active from 2 September to 18 September - images and video will have to be shot between the 2nd and the 11th of September

Hope to see your profile and registration soon and please let us know if anything in this process is not working, feels awkward, could be done better etc - your comments are very appreciated
