Event Details
“We have been very impressed with the caliber of entries over the past two years,” said Dr. Andrew Rossiter, Waikiki Aquarium director. “The calendar showcases the beauty of Hawaii’s oceans and marine-life and has become a collector’s item for many of our visitors. We look forward to seeing what our talented participants have in store for us this year.”
Entries will be accepted through the Aquarium’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages between June 29 and July 10, 2015. Public voting on Facebook from July 11 to July 17, 2015 will determine 20 finalists. From the 20 finalists, a panel of judges will select 12 entries to be featured in the 12-month calendar. Winners will receive a themed “prize pack” of scuba gear and underwater equipment valued at $200, provided by American Underwater Products. Judges will also select one of the 12 winners’ shots for the cover of the calendar and an additional $500 prize. Each of the 12 winners will also receive copies of the finished calendar. Winners will be announced in early August.
