• Our judges always love 'Maui flair' - show us your surfing dogs and animals wearing fresh flower leis. We encourage you to use the natural beauty of our island.
• Easy on the Photoshop - we're all for a little touch-up, but don't overdo it! Your pet is purrfect just as they are.
• Lighting is crucial - a dimly lit or washed-out photograph translates poorly in print. Try using a natural light source like a nearby window, or photograph outside for the best light.
