Many congratulations to Cornelia Thieme of Gelnhausen, Germany for her winning entry in the Wetpixel 2012 Raja Ampat Entrance Tag Competition. Her graphic consists, at first glance, of a motif of two seahorses but on closer inspection also contains numerous other marine icons, including mantas, whale sharks and nautilus. Cornelia wins a holiday to Raja Ampat, courtesy of the sponsors below and her tag will be displayed on all divers' BCDs that visit the marine reserve next year.

On behalf of the judges, I would like to stress how high the caliber of the entries was this year and what a tough job it was to create a shortlist for the final 10. Congratulations are due not only to the winner, but to all those who produced such fantastic designs.

We hope to run the competition for the 2013 tag here next year, so if you were unsuccessful this time round, please enter next year.
