Help Save the Day...For the Manta Ray :: The Manta Network

ANNOUNCING THE FIRST
INTERNATIONAL MANTA RAY PHOTO & VIDEO CONTEST

The new non-profit worldwide organization, The Manta Network, is holding their first International Manta Ray Photo and Video Contest. Entries will be accepted starting June 15 through September 15 2004, culminating with an exhibition at the DEMA Show (Diving Equipment Manufacturer’s Association) October 13, 2004 in Houston, Texas.

Here is a great way for both amateurs and professionals to share their prized photography and videos that captures those special moments spent underwater with the majestic manta rays. Winners will receive publicity, will be prominently exhibited at this well-attended trade show, will have their work displayed online and will be awarded a variety of wonderful prizes. The top two contestants will win a dive trip with the Kona Mantas and a stay at the beautiful Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa. All inclusive dive packages will be provided by Bottom Time Hawaii.

Each entry helps support The Manta Network, their ongoing research and educational purposes. Entry fees are considered a tax-deductible contribution. The organization is inviting everyone who is interested in helping with their mission to contact them, not only underwater photographers. They need volunteers of all types to help spread the word about "Saving the Day for the Manta Ray."
