did i mentioned that i took part in a Photo Essay contest named " The Rice Project" in July?
haha.. my first photography contest which i am quite proud as i like the essay that i wrote :) .
i know i won't win, as there are quite a handful of good/pro photographers who took part as well.
This Rice project that i took part in is a meaningful one. It consist of 3 main objectives.
Firstly, they aim to meet the basic need of the victims of the Tsunami by distributing rice to feed their stomach.
Secondly, they aim to continue to create the awareness that there are still many Sri Lankans who need help to restore their houses by photographing their real life conditions.
Thirdly, they seek to help raise funds through the photographic exhibition and work towards providing a permanent and safe home for the victims of the Tsunami .
Hence, i do encourage photographer ( in regardless of newbie or professional ) to take part in such contest.
In additional , 6 winners are able to:
1)An air ticket and accommodation to Sri Lanka for each winner
2)Photo expedition to distribute rice
3)Visit Yala National for wild nature and animals
4)Major photo exhibition to showcase your work
5)1 x Professional UDMA 300x CF(worth S$110)
6)1 x Platinum II 4GB SDHC(worth S$39)
7)1 x Professional UDMA FireWire® 800 Reader(worth S$99)
8)1 x Professional UDMA Dual-Slot USB Reader(worth S$59)
Hence, i am very excited to see who is the winner is, as he or she is able to present good photographs and good emanation.
