It does not need to be a current photo but you or the person who took it has to give me permission to use it in future paintings. When you submit a photo this will be assumed. Look back on all of your amazing trips here to Maui and dream . Pick one or two of your absolute favorites and send them on!

2022 Contest Winner
Keith Gibson submitted this classic Maui sunset from in front of the Wailea Beach Resort and won!
Painting: "Classic Maui Sunset" (only prints available)
June 2021 Winner was Vika FittsMilgrim!
She took this amazing sunset shot at the luau on the beach in Lahaina and submitted it. I play tennis with her, and thought it should be submitted to the contest. But I did not pick the winner...YOU did. The votes were tallied and she won hands down.
