    creativity, and photography techniques, or 5 images that produce an impressive portfolio when integrated together.
    The portfolio should feature diversity,  creativity, attractive subjects, and unique, fine photography techniques.
  • Only 2 Black Water images out of the 5 are allowed to be submitted.
  • AI Usage Prohibition:
    We want to emphasize that using AI (Artificial Intelligence) in any form for image creation, enhancement, or manipulation is absolutely 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 the result of conventional photography techniques
    and void of any AI-generated content.
  • Images must be saved in JPEG format and should be up to 1,500 pixels in the longest dimension.
  • Minor editing of images using any imaging software is allowed. This includes color and contrast enhancements, backscatter removal,
    up to 15% cropping, minor flaws fixes, and background consolidation.
  • Image editing that alters the main content of the image, such as moving, removing models, and/or implanting foreign elements, is not permitted.
