The first edition of the Hyères International Festival of the Underwater World and Maritime Heritage has now concluded. Over the three days (June 10th, 11th, and 12th), the public responded to the event, with more than 4,000 visitors attending, including numerous participants in the photo and video competitions.
Over 700 photos were submitted across all categories (live, heritage, series, wide-angle, and macro) as well as about thirty videos.
The cover image is by Robert Hauswirth, winner of the first prize in the macro photography category as a professional.
