Cabo 2011 Contest The photographer's main goal at the Ujena Jam is to take quality images. For models, to have quality images taken by the photographer. We have set up photo tours during the Jam to help provide quality locations. Of course, photographers and models can find their own locations too. Half the winners will be selected (details below*) in Cabo. The second part of the competition is online. The best images taken in Cabo will be posted on Ujena Network in the Best Shot Challenge contest. Participants have ten days to post their best images. This will give contestants enough time to edit their images.
