Notes From the Judges

“Congratulations to all the winners and participants of the Sultan Mizan Underwater Photography Awards. It was an honour to be able to participate as a judge and to see your fantastic contributions. The breadth of subject matter and quality of photographs made it a pleasure. Your pictures did a great job of headlining the natural beauty of the Terengganu waters.”

- Indra Swari
 

Congratulations to all the winners, and to all the contestants for your excellent works. It is an honor to serve as a judge for this year’s Sultan Mizan Underwater Photography Awards. It is through this wondrous opportunity that I managed to see the astounding underwater photos of the beautiful​Terengganu seas, taken by professionals and passionate amateurs alike.

The Macro and Wide-Angle submissions had many eye-catching works, fueling my curiosity for the diverse and rich waters in this area. Likewise, through these beautiful underwater photos, the world can see the beauty of the ocean.

“Congratulations to all the winners and participants of this prestigious inaugural photo competition. The creative energy and quality of submissions were astounding!  As a Malaysian who dives these islands frequently, I understand the challenging weather conditions this year and the notable absence of regular whale shark visits. All these elements further tested the determination of underwater photographers. My humble advice is don’t be a photographer, be an artist. I am looking forward to seeing more inspiring works next year.”
