ASUS Pixelmaster Grand Prix - nationwide Zenfone photo marathon

Tuesday, March 12, 2019

ASUS announced that they will be having the biggest mobile photography event and contest here in the Philippines -- the ASUS Pixelmaster Grand Prix, a nationwide Zenfone photo marathon. So take note to all Asus Zenfone fans and users, you have a month to practice to do mobile photography and use all what you learned from last year's ASUS PixelMaster Master Class.

First event to hit is in Manila this coming April 27, 2019 and followed by the Cebu leg on May 4, 2019, and final leg is at Davao on May 5, 2019

Each PixelMaster Grand Prix leg will be headed by Zenfone PixelMasters: Ricky Ladia for Travel Photography, Arlene Donaire for Visual Story Telling, Jasper Tejano for Street Photography, Emir Kahn Bautista for Wedding Photography, Dail Deri for Conceptual Photography, Ken Go for Portraiture, Jay Ermitaño for Documentary Photography, and Nicco Valenzuela for Landscape Photography.

They invite Zenfone users of the first gen up to the latest gen, and some non-users too ( I think they will lend Zenfone devices for the contest). Prizes up to PHP 50,000 are set for winners of the PixelMaster Grand Prix.

Read the details below and then start practicing your mobile photography skills for travel, visual storytelling, street photography, portraits, documentary, concept photography, landscape and wedding shoots.
