realized the allure of on-location swimwear fashion photography and began holding events to showcase the talent of the models and photographers in 1984.

24 years later, in 2008, the UjENA Jam has grown into an international week-long "happening" consisting of modeling and photography contests, workshops, casting calls, networking expos, fashion shows, and parties, all held amidst the relaxing and indulgent hospitality of a world-class resort destination.

The UjENA lifestyle is young, beautiful and fit, and the UjENA Jams reflect this with a host of tournaments and challenges including: a 5K Race, 50M Swim, Extreme Hike, Soccer, Golf, Deep-Sea Fishing, Acrobatics and more! These exciting events—most of them open to guests, fans and locals—transform the UjENA Jams into vacation getaways for anyone interested in the lifestyle and industry.

UjENA Jam Partner Program

As a UjENA Jam Partner you become part of UjENA's team of talent scouts. It's like holding a casting call for hundreds of models just to find the face and figure that's right for your company! And the best part of all, you get to do this on location at an exotic resort.

During the search you are advertising your brand/logo or company name to hundreds of people involved in the world of fashion photography. And while you're at it, international TV and print media are covering the event to broadcast your company name and logo to audiences around the world. It's a public relations bonanza!

UjENA Jam partnerships start at $10,000 and provide dozens of options for you to maximize your visibility and participation.

Registration Fee

UjENA hosts several Jams that lead up to the larger Annual UjENA Jam in Puerto Vallarta. The event fee for the Puerto Vallarta (PV) Jam is $2,500; other locations are $1,000. Registration fees are required.

Scholarship Award

As a partner you will be selecting at least one model winner, and providing a scholarship* for that winner. A minimum $1,000 scholarship award is required by Partners. The following sections outline the options to bring your total involvement to $10,000.
* Scholarship dollars at the PV Jam can be applied as credits to attend another UjENA Jam, or if won at other UjENA Jams can be applied to attend the PV Jam.

Travel Packages

Available for $800 each person for double rooms for five nights, or $1,100 each person for single rooms for five nights. In addition to your company representatives, many partners use the Jams as incentives to their top sales people and customers. Family and guests are welcome. Travel packages include rooms (all inclusive in PV) and entry fees to all photo contests, parties and most events. Airfare not included.

Create a Team

Model agencies, health clubs, sport teams and other groups can increase visibility and participation by putting together their own team. Registration fee $500, plus you pay for all or part of each team member's travel packages. Example: you pay $500 toward travel packages for 5 members and receive a $2,500 credit toward your Partner fee of $10,000.

Event Sponsorship
