Photographers are invited to test their artistic expression and
technique and win great prizes at the exclusive Dive Into
Adventure Bonaire 2006 Digital Photo Contest.

This has been organized by local Fish-Eye Photo, School for Underwater Photography.

Both novice and expert photographers alike are encouraged to
participate in this one-of-a-kind event where all digital camera systems will be permitted, both compact and SLR’s, and local photo pros will be
available at Dive Into Adventure Bonaire host hotels to provide guests with tips and information for creating high quality digital images.

With the theme “Fun & Educational,” the Digital Photo Contest will include two main categories - land and underwater. The Land category will include three sub categories, in which compact and SLR cameras will be competing together:

1.) Nature (any form of plant and animal life), 2.) Landscapes (sunsets to urban, anything goes) and 3.) Activity (sports or outdoor activities).

Similarly, the Underwater category will have two subcategories, although compact and SLR camera will be separated: 1.) Compact cameras (wide angle, macro, portrait) and

2.) SLR cameras (wide angle, macro, portrait).

       
All
activities must conform to the STINAPA (Bonaire
National Marine
Park and Washington-Slagbaai
