Camella ends summer with the announcement of its nationwide "Take Your Best Splash" Photo Contest Winners

Summer brings life to the tedium of a person's daily routine. Everything about this season speaks outdoors — trips to the beach, getting in touch with nature, afternoon picnics, and outdoor camping. It signals the perfect time to bring out the fashionable summer clothes in your closet, hang out with friends, binge on in-season fruits, and bask in vibrant days knowing there are fewer possibilities of rain ruining the day. 

In tropical countries like the Philippines, there are only two seasons, the wet, which is filled with rainy days and cold nights, and the dry, which is summer. Travelers around the world visit the country in April and May to maximize getaways to pristine beaches and experience all the unique archipelagic offerings. For locals, it is the best time to book a summer trip for the whole family. 

This year, in light of easing travel restrictions, access to the outdoors is beginning to come up again. Local and international travels have opened, destinations are getting filled with guests, restaurants are experiencing long queues, and beaches are flooded with tourists — making fun summer memories every bit possible.

Camella's Take Your Best Splash Photography Contest 2023

Camella spiced up summer through a photography contest for professionals and hobbyists. The "Take Your Best Splash” photography contest" allowed participants to showcase their passion for photography and the fun that comes along with shooting these images within their Camella community of choice.

Hobbyist Mart Juden Baradas from Bacolod City bested other participants to win a brand new GoPro Hero 11. Handing over the prize was Angelika Jainga of Camella Bacolod Marketing Team.

Splash photography, a feature in the contest, is a way of capturing and documenting natural or artificial water movements, ranging from waterfalls, dewdrops in plants, and rain droplets, to capturing splashes of someone using the pool, children playing in puddles, or fur babies enjoying a sprinkler shower to cool down.

The winning entry for the Camella "Take Your Best Splash Photo Contest" Hobbyist Category, was taken at Camella Bacolod South.
