Aphrodite, goddess of romance and passion, of fashion, beauty and art, has captivated poets and painters for centuries. Known for her numerous affairs of the heart, as well as her willingness to help others find the love they seek, Aphrodite’s irresistible touch transformed the lives of individuals and shaped the course of human history. Both playful and sophisticated, Aphrodite makes our world a livelier place.
This is the inspiration for "Aphrodite", the Cyprus Experience competition - making the diving world a livelier place by combining the diving world with hi tech, photography and extreme sports, tourism, conservation and even new categories for beginners and video clip, produced during the event in Cyprus.
The motivating spirit behind the competition is David Pilosof (Pilo), a veteran underwater photographer, producer of the Epson Red Sea competition, and creator of the renowned photo album, "Samantha". Pilo has participated in many underwater photography competitions himself, and shaped the genre of underwater fashion and nude photography.
"I took part in many photography competitions, and it was very nice to win a few trophies and medals", says Pilosof. "But I always felt that something was missing – some sort of financial reward, a prize that could help and encourage photographers to continue joining those competitions and adventures. The Cyprus Tourist Organization rose to the challenge, and allows us to run this prestigious competition where underwater photographers have the chance to win cash prizes. I am proud to invite you all to Cyprus, to take part in the competition and perhaps win the jackpot.”
Remember: we'll meet on Saturday night June 6, 2009 20:30 at Larnaka promenade, the winners of the competition will go back home with checks in the amount of 20,000 euro, 3 weeks diving trip to Papua New Guinea including air fare Singapore/Papua New Guinea/Singapore and other valuable prizes.
