The Friends of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park group has extended the entry deadline by two weeks for its inaugural Images From the Edge photo contest. The new submission deadline is at 5 p.m. Monday, April 16.
“Since our website redesign and photo submission page took longer to launch than originally planned, we wanted to make sure everyone had time to upload their photos to the site,” said the organization’s General Manager Julie Mitchell.
All images will be considered for inclusion in a special multi-image slideshow on April 28 at the Kilauea Visitor Center. All finalists’ photographs will be exhibited from June 8-17 at the Volcano Art Center Gallery.
“We also changed our opening reception of the Images From the Edge photography exhibit to Friday, June 8,” Mitchell said. “We didn’t want to conflict with the reception for the Hawaii Photo Expo.”
Besides having their works exhibited, photographers could win such prizes as a helicopter tour for two, a zipline adventure for two, a private Volcano tour for two, gift certificates for Big Island Candies, gift certificates for Hawaii Volcanoes Institute field seminars and more.
The contest is open to anyone with an original photograph taken in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park within the last three years. Photos may be in color or black and white and can cover any subject matter. All ages and skill levels are welcome.
First-, second- and third-place awards will be given in three categories: Amateur-Beginner, Amateur-Advanced and Professional. There will also be from three to seven honorable mentions awards. For full contest rules and to enter, visit www.fhvnp.org. The entry fee for up to three photos is $25, payable online by credit card.
