Individuals from around the world are invited to enter an underwater photo from the Namena Marine Reserve, in Fiji that contains a solitary animal or fish (see examples attached). You may submit up to five original photos along with a signed photography license agreement (see attached). All entries submitted on or before August 15, 2019 will have a chance to be featured on the 2020 Namena Marine Reserve Dive Tag with clear credit given to the photographer.

People come from around the globe, at great expense, to dive in the Namena Marine Reserve with exclusive dive operators. Our photo contest is a great opportunity to highlight your art to an international audience on a memorable token from their travels to Fiji. The dive tag program has been very successful over the past ten years and continues to show people from around the world that Namena is a special site where the native people of Kubulau have invested and take pride in the long-term protection of their resources. 

We acknowledge and appreciate your commitment to the Namena Marine Reserve and kindly request that you submit a photo for consideration. To submit a photo for the contest, please email your submissions to Peni Were at namenamarinereserve@gmail.com any time before August 15, 2019. If your photo is chosen, we will contact you to request a high-resolution version to be submitted by September 15, 2019. The winner will receive a dive tag featuring their winning photo.

Thank you in advance for your interest and participation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing your spectacular photos.
