Matava is proud to be a sponsor of the International Photo Competition.
Underwater images is operated as an independent underwater photo and video competition. Underwater Images is an Ohio (USA) not-for-profit corporation. Proceeds from the competition are donated to Marine Conservation and Education causes.Inner space is a relatively new frontier for mankind that will open new horizons in science and medicine, as well as art and recreation. The purpose of the Underwater Images Photo/Video Competition is to raise the awareness of the ecological importance of preserving marine habitats that represent Nature's oldest and most stable living ecosystems. This will create more conscientious diving practices and generate new interests in the realm of marine environmental science and education.
The Underwater Images Photo/Video Competition is a non-profit corporation with proceeds donated to benefit marine conservation and marine education programs. For more information see our contributions page.
If you have a charitable marine conservation or education organization, that would like to apply for a grant, please send information to director2008@uwimages.org. Organizations must be an approved 501c3 charitable organization.
