Calling all Maui County photographers:
Do you want the chance to win photo gear, software, hardware, cash and other cool stuff, plus help Maui County's keiki in the process? Pull out your camera, get shooting, print out your best shots and enter Photo Maui.
Last year, Photo Maui brought in over $1,000 in donations for the Lahaina Arts Association’s Children's Art Outreach Program. This 501(c)3 charity provides free art classes for underprivileged kids throughout Maui County. Photo Maui paid for two-months of classes for our Island's keiki. This year, our goal is to triple last year's amount.
Photo Maui’s 2011 Sponsors donated some amazing prizes this year. Winning photographers have a chance to win prizes from Hahnemuhle Fine Art, Magna Chrome, Alien Skin Software, Western Digital, Pictures Plus, Picture it Framed, Breathing Color, Nik Software, Maui Plastics, Ultimate Whale Watch, Maui Digital Imaging, Maui Island Giclee, THK Photo Products, and many more.
So get off the couch and bring your best work because this year’s jurors are three of Maui’s most famous photographers:
David Fleetham, Ron Dahlquist and
Douglas Hoffman.
