Underwater videographers from around the world have submitted entries in five categories: Short Video, Environmental, Art House Flicks, Made in Texas, and Feature Length. The top three films in each category, as selected by audience vote, will be announced at the Awards Banquet on Sunday, April 30 at 5:30 PM in the Gallery at MATCH.
