In celebration of the campaign’s success, ASUS Philippines, in collaboration with the ZenFone PixelMasters, is inviting all of the PixelMaster Master Class students, ZenFans, and ZenFone mobile photographers to the first-ever PixelMaster Grand Prix.
The PixelMaster Grand Prix is a nationwide photo marathon led by the respected and celebrated 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, all of whom the Grand Prix participants will have a chance to meet, greet, and learn from once more, if not for the first time.
The event is set to happen in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao beginning April of this year and is open to all ZenFone users – from the first generation to the current series, and some lucky non-users as well.
This makes the PixelMaster Grand Prix the biggest ZenFone mobile photography event yet in the Philippines. And as such, it is only fitting that the winning participants of each leg should only take home the big rewards, with over ₱50,000.00 worth of prizes up for grabs.
