Underwater Video Contest Winners 2010

The Underwater Video 'Oscars'


Winning here (or even just being placed) is Underwater Videos's most coveted accolade because it says you succeeded in the most competitive environment there is, against the top talent of the moment.
Every January a panel of judges select the best movies entered in our online Video contest from the previous year. Gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded for the top three from each category in order of merit.
The judges comprise of industry professionals (and last year's World Champ). They are unpaid, non-affiliated, and (of course) cannot enter themselves.
You may not agree with the judges. You may think you have 'better footage' at home. The great thing about this contest is that you can prove it by entering this year's contest.

I found these catfish and thought of this video. This is normal behavior but it always seems like they are trapped. I made this video with that in mind.

It is longer that 2 minutes by just a bit you can see it all on my site.
