The International Union of Speleology (UIS) Arts and Letters Commission, in collaboration with the UIS Karst and Cave Protection Commission and UIS Biology Commission, announces the launch of the 2nd International Cave Photography Contest.
“This year, we turn our lenses (and our hearts) toward the silent, microscopic, and often overlooked inhabitants of the subterranean world, these Guardians of the Dark. Under the theme of ‘Invisible Life, Visible Impact,’ we invite the international speleological community (cavers, explorers, and researchers) to capture the fragile beauty of cave ecosystems. This contest is for those who understand that a photograph is a visual testimony: the essential bridge between the silent reality of the subterranean world and an audience that may never witness its wonders.”
