Underwater Photo Grand Prix. Our productions began in 2005 with the Eilat Red Sea Shootout. Since then, we have been recognizing and rewarding underwater photographers with prestigious prizes valued over $1,000,000, including over $267,000 in cash prizes. Producer David Pilosof revolutionized the industry by launching the first World ShootOut online competition in 2011. This groundbreaking event introduced an international competition like never before, attracting hundreds of photographers from around 57 countries worldwide. Each year, participants submit thousands of captivating images and videos that capture the serene lakes of the Nordic countries and Canada, unveil the hidden secrets of Alaska, and showcase the majestic great white shark in the Gulf of Mexico.
