AI Usage Prohibition:
We want to emphasize that using AI (Artificial Intelligence) in any form for image creation, enhancement, or manipulation is forbidden in this year's competition.
At World ShootOut, we value the traditional artistry and skill of underwater photography. Thus, all submitted images must be a result of conventional photography techniques, void of any AI-generated content.
Minor editing of images using any imaging software is allowed. This includes color and contrast enhancements,
backscatter removal, up to 15 % cropping allowed, minor flaws flaws, and background consolidation.
mage editing that alters the main content of the image, such as moving, removing models, and/or implanting foreign elements,
is not permitted.
