2nd Annual photography contest at the zoo

   The Moonridge Animal Park will host their 2nd Annual Photography Contest, with this year they are adding the opportunity for photo contest entrants to have pre-contest tour of the park and receive photography tips from Maui Photographer Lee Guthrie (www.eelproductions.biz).  Lee will be offering a pre-contest orientation of the zoo and share her methods for photographing the animals and the zoo.  The pre-contest tour and tips starts at 8:30AM and is offered at no additional cost.

   The entry fee is $15.00 for adults and $10.00 for children. The price includes regular admission into the Moonridge Animal Park. The photo contest hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with registration between 8:30AM to 12:00 Noon. You can enter the contest at one of five levels of skill: Novice, Intermediate, Advance, or Professional, plus a child level.   Winners in each category will have their pictures placed in a professionally designed 16 month 2009 calendar. Winners will receive two copies of the calendar as a thank you for supporting the Moonridge Animal Park.

   For this year, the photography shooting theme is “People enjoying themselves around the animals in the Moonridge Animal Park.” So the picture need not be of just animals but of park visitors and event the animal keepers too.

   Throughout the day animals will be brought out to the presentation green for special photo opportunities. For more event details, contest rules and view last year’s calendar pictures please click here.
