Comprising this year’s panel of judges are renowned underwater photographers Mike Bartick, Scott Gutsy Tuason, and William Tan, along with Underwater360 Group founder John Thet. Winners across the competition’s 11 catergories will be awarded prizes from underwater photography gear brands Nauticam, Scubalamp, AOI, XDEEP, Crest, and Fourth Element.

To safeguard Anilao’s unique and critical ecosystem, AUS will continue to implement a “no marine life manipulation” policy, a strict guideline that has set standards for other underwater photography competitions in the world. According to competition director Oliver Ang, the set rules and point system combined with the expertise of highly experienced judges from various fields are in place to discourage manipulated images.

The Anilao Underwater Shootout has been dubbed as the ‘World Cup of Underwater Photo Competitions’ since its first edition in 2013 in Mabini, Batangas to promote Anilao as a premier underwater photography destination and gather the most illustrious local and international divers and photographers in one venue. In its 2018 edition, over 220 contestants from 23 countries participated in the event.
