Lundy’s second underwater photography competition, the Splash-In, is set to take place on Saturday 12 June 2010 with a prize fund of more than £2,000.

The waters around the island off the north Devon coast are renowned for their diversity and competitors will have subjects such as grey seals, rare corals and shipwrecks to photograph.

For a £20 entry fee, competitors will get the chance to enter their photographs, as well as free camping on the island and a ticket to an evening barn dance and lamb roast.

Nicola Saunders, Lundy’s warden, said: “Last year was the first time Lundy had organised a Splash-in competition, and it was a huge success and amazing to see so many people coming together to enjoy Lundy’s spectacular marine life. We are hoping 2010 is going to be bigger and better in every way!”

The Splash-In categories are:
• Mega to Macro: close-up portraits of marine species (can be landscape or portrait orientation).
• Marine Ambience: portraying the Reserve and its spectacular underwater scenery - these may include shots with divers in the frame.
• Marine Abstract: Use your imagination!

Nicola continued: “We are hoping for a prize fund of over £2,000, and have already received generous sponsorship from Cameras Underwater and Scuba Travel. The winning entrants will certainly get the opportunity to walk away with some fantastic prizes.”
