Got some great shots from your caving adventures? The 34th ASF Photo Competition is looking for your best cave photography. You don't need to be attending the conference to enter, but you do need to be an ASF member.
This year we've kept things simple with four categories:
Entrance: a photo featuring a cave entrance
Life: the biology of caves; bats, invertebrates, fungi, roots, and anything else living in the dark
Cave: the underground environment; passage, formations, void, light and rock
Cavers: portraits or candid shots where the caver is the focus
Up to 3 photos per category per person
JPG or PNG, maximum 5MB per file
Name your files: Category_YourName_ImageTitle.jpeg (e.g. Life_JanSmith_Glowworm_Grotto.jpeg)
Email entries to asfconference2027@chillagoecavingclub.org.au with subject "Photo Competition"
Photos that have previously placed in an ASF photo competition are not eligible
Entries must be submitted before 18th June, 2027
Entry fee: $3 per photo. Payment details to be confirmed.
Photos will be judged based on a popular vote. Every conference attendee will have the opportunity to vote for their top three photos in each category.Â
Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each category. Not sure what they are yet, but they will be awesome!
Copyright stays with you. By entering you're giving permission for your photos to be displayed at the conference and possibly published in Caves Australia, with attribution. Nothing else without asking you first.
