Our very first photographic competition - the FINALISTS!

Past and present clients and volunteers have overwhelmed us with the amazing memories they have captured on film. Working on the boats everyday, we fully appreciate how difficult it is to capture the moment, so we had a deep understanding for just how lucky all our entrants were.  Thank you to everybody that entered their  favourite White Shark Projects photograph. Lovely moments and stories were captured in the photos!   As promised,  your photograph could help shark conservation We're going to compile a coffee-table book of the best photographs, giving all photographers due credit. We'll sell these books at our Lodge, and donate the profits to the South African Shark Conservancy. So even if your photo were not the winning photo,  your photograph might still be  chosen for the book , you'll be making a contribution to shark conservation!

The judges had a tough time selecting a winner, for like always, there can only be one!  A big thank you to Dave de Beer and Jeff Ayliffe that has assisted us in the huge task of sorting through all the spectacular photos we received.  Dave is the authour of "Hermanus Whales" and a world-renowned photographer.  Jeff is a free-lance photographer and radio presenter with Cape Talk.
