It's high time Steemit had a thriving underwater photography category.

So I've decided to start a new section, #underwaterphoto, where we can all post epic underwater imagery of marinelife as well as underwater portraiture.

#underwaterphoto weekly challenge:

To further this aim, I'm also launching Steemit's first #underwaterphoto weekly challenge with a reward of 1 SBD/ STEEM to the chosen winner each week.

Here's how to win 1 SBD/STEEM each week:

Every Monday EST, I will post the new weekly challenge for underwater photography submissions that will be open for 7 days. The prize for the winning photo each week is 1 SBD/STEEM.

STEP 1: Submit the best underwater photo you took during your travels in the COMMENTS section along with a short description (30-50 words max please).

STEP 2: Upvote and reseteem this post using #underwaterphoto to help the challenge grow and develop.

STEP 3: The following Monday, 7 days after the weekly challenge release, I will select the best underwater picture and the winner will receive 1 SBD/ STEEM. As the contest grows, I hope to increase the prize payouts.

This first week's challenge runs April 9th - April 16th, 2018.

Happy creative trails everyone!
