Want a free trip to Hawaii? Send us your best photos for HAWAII Magazine's 12th annual Photo Contest, and you might be our next lucky grand prize winner—of a trip to the island of Kauai, and an assortment of award-winning Hula Daddy 100-percent Kona coffee.

Please read the contest rules (below) carefully. You may enter up to eight (8) photos (no more than two per category) by Aug. 6, 2010.

There will be nine prizes—one grand prize, four first-place and four second-place prizes. Winners will be published in the January/February 2011 issue of HAWAII Magazine.

Enter your photos in one of the following four categories: Oahu, Maui, Big Island and Kauai. The photos can be of anything—people, places, things—but, of course, they need to be shot on the island in question.
