Canon Photomarathon 2013 University Edition

In celebration of the Filipinos’ eye for good photography, Canon Marketing Philippines gears up for its first-ever Canon Photomarathon University edition on October 26, Saturday at the 402-year-old University of Santo Tomas.

Now on its eighth run, Canon Photomarathon is a one-of-a-kind, one day on-the-spot photo contest that challenges participants’ creative instincts by creating theme-inspired photographs under time pressure. The competition is open to all students – grade school, high school, college and post-graduate studies – with Canon digital cameras. Registration is free. Students can choose to compete between two categories: Digital Cameras with Interchangeable Lenses and Compact Cameras.

“We are encouraging students to join this year and challenge themselves. They’re the next generation of photographers and joining competitions such as the Canon Photomarathon University edition will help them develop their talent and appreciate what a good camera and creative imagination can do,” said Vinchy Sanchez, Canon Marketing Philippines’Head of Division for Imaging Communications Products

The event will begin at 7:00 A.M. To register, log on to www.canon.com.ph/photomarathon2013 and for inquiries, email canonphotomarathon2013@gmail.com. The final leg of this year’s Canon Photomarathon is slated on November 16 at Bonifacio Global City.
