A photo competition with the theme Children of the World has been launched by the Photographic Society of Singapore in conjunction with the International Federation of Photographic Arts (FIAP).
The Photographic Society will organise the competition and host an exhibition next February 24-28 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of both the society and FIAP, said the society's vice president, Goh Kim Hui.
Goh who was in Hanoi to attend the 30th FIAP Congress said he has enjoyed the works of Vietnamese photographers displayed at the Sofitel Plaza hotel, the congress venue. He encouraged Vietnamese photographers to join in the newly announced competition.
The competition is opened to all national federations from around the world which are operational members of FIAP. They were each encouraged to enter about 20 colour or black-and-white photos of children engaged in their daily activities, a maximum of two per photographer, prior to December 28.
In order to ensure the submission of images of children from around the world, as well as complement UNESCO's efforts to promote better understanding the situation of underprivileged children, images submitted must be taken in the country of the sponsoring national federation./.
