For the first time ever, Samy’s Camera and Santa Barbara Volkswagen have joined forces to cosponsor Culture Volkswagen, a four-month-long photo and video contest that asks entrants to capture the VW lifestyle and tradition on film. First- and second-place awards will be presented for both the still image and video categories, and prizes will be furnished by Samy’s. The competition ends in February ’08. Visit santabarbaravw.com or samys.com for details.
