‘To look beyond the surface and notice what others pass by is a gift. The photographers in this competition have chosen to share this gift. Each of them is an explorer. Some have journeyed into forests; others have dived into oceans; more have stayed at home – the location doesn’t matter. Thanks to these photographers we can all experience the joy of a beetle, bubble or bird revealing its secrets. We can all marvel at the puffy texture of coral and the cave-like home of a springtail. We can all trace the flightpath of a moth and see the eye of a storm in a shallow pool.’

– From the introduction by CUPOTY co-founder Tracy Calder
