What lights
you up?

Any HOCU member may enter. One photo entry per member, so make it your best shot.

A photo of whatever lights you up: surfing or paddling, gardening, cooking, playing the ukulele, hiking, fishing, painting, dancing, golfing, or any hobby or pastime that brings you joy. If it lights you up, we want to see it.

Photos must be original and taken or owned by you, in horizontal / landscape orientation, JPG format, and high resolution (at least 3 MB file size).

If your photo includes identifiable people, you’ll need to complete the model release form so we have their permission to publish the image.

Twelve winning photos plus one cover photo will be featured in HOCU’s 2027 calendar, mailed to every household we serve. Winning entries may also be displayed at HOCU branches, on the website, and across social media.

Yes. You retain the rights to your photograph, but by entering you grant HOCU permission to use it in marketing and publicity materials, newsletters, and social media.
