Canon Set For 11th PhotoMarathon – It’s That Time Of The Year Again!

Photo enthusiasts can look forward for Canon’s PhotoMarathon which will be coming this 9th September 2017 (Saturday)! This will be the 11th time that it is being held in Malaysia and the venue for this year will be at Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur. Open to Malaysians from all walks of life, photo aficionados should grab this chance and join!

As long as you have a camera, be it a compact, mirrorless, or DSLR, you are welcome to participate! The beauty of Canon PhotoMarathon is seeing people from all walks of life, regardless of level of (photography) skill, coming together for a common interest – the passion for photography. Being a leader in the imaging solutions industry, there is a certain responsibility on Canon not only to focus on ourselves, but to also contribute to the photography community in Malaysia. In that spirit, we highly encourage everyone to join on the excitement and be part of the photography community Andrew Koh, President and CEO of Canon Marketing Malaysia

This year’s PhotoMarathon will be the first time that a medal will be given to finishers of the event. Judging from the way that it looks, it’s certainly one of a kind. The best photo submissions will be reviewed and judge by renowned photographers Asmady Ahmad, Vincent Thian, and Fiona Lim.

Everything we do, from providing Malaysians with the right photography tools to workshops, Canon PhotoMarathon is meant to create an environment that’s harmonious and fun for everyone. To make the experience more memorable, we are excited to announce that for the first time, we are awarding finisher’s medals to participants Jeffrey Kung, Head of Consumer Imaging & Information Division, Canon Marketing Malaysia
