Advertiser Staff

If you took a heartwarming photo of one or more folks in your family during 2001, you might want to dig it up pronto — there are only a few more days left to enter the second 'Ohana in the Islands photo contest sponsored by The Honolulu Advertiser.

If you have a photo that evokes warm feelings, a sense of 'ohana and the distinctive culture of Hawai'i, you are invited to enter. If you win, you'll see your photo published in an upcoming issue of The Advertiser.
