One Roll, One Day, Underwater In Monterey
The 21st Annual California Beach Dive Photographic Competition captures the serene beauty of underwater imagery
By Gil Zeimer
Take 100 rolls of Kodak slide film. Give one each to 100 scuba divers. Add 50-degree water, rugged cameras, thick wetsuits, masks, fins, gloves, weights, and tanks. Ask for it back in a few hours. And award the best shots with over $20,000 in prizes.
That's what the Northern California Underwater Photographic Society's annual one-day competition every Spring is all about.
The club's biggest event: As the club's single largest annual diving / photography / community event of the year, the CBDPC is held in high esteem by club members and our dive buddies. The 2002 event is no exception because Paula Butler, the NCUPS Marketing Manager, is doing an outstanding job of garnering prizes and hopes to surpass $20,000 in donated liveaboard and land-based dive trips, equipment, books, and more.
The logo: This year, a new logo was created for the event by John Newman, formerly Editor/Art Director at Dive Travel magazine. It will be featured prominently on the front of our event T-shirt that each participant will get.
The details: Entry fee is $50 for early registration postmarked by May 29th, or $65 on event day. Categories will be: Novice, Amateur and Open; subjects are Diver, Macro, Marine Life and Wide-Angle.
The entry fee includes: one roll of Kodak E100VS film, processing, an event T-shirt, and group dinner Saturday with a no-host bar at the Monterey Senior Center and slide show. Slide selection will be Sunday at the Monterey Peninsula College from 7:30-8:30 a.m., followed by the judging from 8:30 a.m.-Noon. The awards show presentation will follow from 1-3 p.m. To view past winners, visit: http://www.ncups.org/bdpc2001winlist.htm.
