Actor and Longtime Baseball Fan Invites Fans to
Enter Photo Contest For Chance to Win a Trip to Little League World
Series in August
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, today announced its partnership with actor Mario
Lopez, host of TV’s EXTRA, in support of the Canon Little League
Photo Contest powered by PIXMA Printers. As part of the "Picture
Perfect Season” initiative that kicked off last month, Lopez is
encouraging his fans, and baseball fans everywhere, to take part in
the photo contest for the chance to win a trip to the Little League
Baseball® World Series in South Williamsport, PA.
“I’ve always been such a fan of the game of baseball, and it
really starts for so many families, including mine, with Little
League,” said Lopez. “I’m excited to take part in this celebration
of family photos and especially the printed images that we all
cherish, and showcase the excitement and passion of the game.”
By submitting photos based on a monthly theme in May, June
and July, fans will have the chance to win one of three trips
to join Lopez in South Williamsport, PA and see
their photos on display in the World of Little League Museum in the
Richard “Hank” Bauer, Jr. Little League Photography Exhibit in the
World Series Gallery presented by Easton Foundations.
This month, the Canon Little League Photo Contest powered by
PIXMA Printers focuses on “Fandemonium,” a theme focusing on shots
of the passionate fans. Whether it’s the parents of a Little
Leaguer cheering them on or a whole crowd doing the wave, these
images should capture the essence of what it means to be a fan.
Entries will be judged on the use of the theme and on the quality
of the image and overall impression.
“Canon is thrilled to welcome Mario Lopez to this
special partnership with the Little League World Series, as we
encourage enthusiasts everywhere to capture meaningful moments of
fans, families and players,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and
COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “He is a great advocate as we continue to
share the power of the printed image with fans across the country
and deepen our relationship with Little League.”
