Best of VideoRay" 2020 Photo Contest

It’s that time of year – time to submit your entries for VideoRay’s 2020 photo contest! We’re excited to see your VideoRay ROV in action.

All submitters will receive a VideoRay T-shirt and VideoRay-branded COVID-19 face mask. In addition, the grand prize winner will receive an electronic tablet, and the top five submitters will receive a VideoRay Operations jacket.

All images submitted will be displayed early next year in the “Best of VideoRay 2020” photo gallery on the website (www.videoray.com) with full photo credits.

Here are some ideas for submissions:

• Send a photo of you or your team with your VideoRay ROV.
• Show where your ROV has been, such as above-water shots with the submersible in your operation environment.
• Underwater photos taken by a diver or another VideoRay ROV system are great – the Mission Specialist ROVs can take 13MP stills.

Be creative!
