Visit Waterford is delighted to unveil a brand-new social media-based photography competition as part of its ‘Dive Into Waterford’ campaign. The competition is a photographic celebration of Waterford and encourages photography enthusiasts to discover their creativity and upload photos to social media using the #DiveIntoWaterford hashtag.
For those wishing to enter, all you have to do is: post a photograph to Instagram, X or Facebook; when doing so you must tag @VisitWaterford and you must use the #DiveIntoWaterford hashtag and post your image before the 31st of August 2024.

Finalists will be selected at the beginning of September and contacted - once they then submit a high-resolution copy of their image via email, along with their details the top 30 images will be posted on Visit Waterford's Facebook page for a public voting period to select the winning image for the 2024 Visit Waterford photography competition.
In addition, the finalist’s images will be hosted in a public exhibition at Mount Congreve Gardens in Waterford in September 2024 where the finalists will be invited to an occasion and the winner will be announced. The exhibition will also be hosted online at VisitWaterford.com
