EPIC, the Environmentally aware Photographic Image Competition, was the first image competition that rewarded underwater photographers and videographers for environmental sensitivity. Many contests are now incorporating the EPIC environmental guidelines and for this we thank them.
EPIC is presented yearly and entries are due by March 15th.
Our Mission Statement
Many of the aquatic and marine ecosystems of the world are threatened by a variety of human activities, including destructive diving practices. It is the goal of the Environmentally aware Photographic Image Competition to help divers increase their awareness of fragile freshwater and saltwater environments.
These divers will then be better able to ensure the preservation of aquatic and marine ecosystems as habitats for spectacular and unique wildlife, recreational resources for present and future, and irreplaceable natural wonders that all can enjoy.
