A Picture Worth a Thousand Words Can Earn You a Scholarship!
Calling all amateur photographers! Do you think you’ve got what it takes to take home the grand prize at this year’s Maui Photo Festival? If your answer is a resounding “yes” (and you’re a Maui County high school student) then you just might be capable of earning one of ten scholarships to this year’s festival and workshops.
The Maui Photo Festival & Workshops will be held August 25 – 29 at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa. The yearly festival celebrates digital photography through lectures, excursions and hands-on demonstration classes.
Admission to the festival is $495 ($395 educational rate), but burgeoning young photographers can earn their spot for free by submitting one image in up to three categories: lazy days of summer, up close and personal (macro photography) and dive right in (water pictures). Those seeking scholarships must also submit a 250-word essay on why they should be chosen (… and hurry! The deadline is August 1!).
Submissions from local residents will create the “Hawaii by Hawaii Photographers” multimedia show to be unveiled at an opening night reception on August 25 at 7:00 p.m.
Think you’ve got what it takes? Go for it! Send your digital entries to mauiphotocontest@gmail.com (hard-copy submissions should be sent to Maui Photo Festival, P.O. Box 185, Kahului 96733).
