Summer’s in Miami can be brutal, but don’t let that hot Miami air stop you from enjoying the beautiful art this lovely city has to offer. This summer take a trip over to the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science for the Under the Sea Underwater Exhibition.  The underwater exhibit will be open through August on Saturday’s and Sundays from 10am to 6pm.  The Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science will host 26 images from 2013-2014 annual underwater photography contest, presented by The University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.  

What makes The Annual Underwater Photography Contest unique is that is is open only to amateur photographers who earn less than 20 percent of their income from photography.  The contest is for images shot all around the world and are judged based on five categories, Macro, Fish or Marine Animal Portrait, Wide Angle and Best University of Miami Student Photograph.

Take a break from your usual weekend plans and immerse yourself in an underwater paradise at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum. Don’t miss your chance to see the creatures of the sea captured by up and coming photographers!
