National Photography Contest

This camera is older than me. And it's lived with my mother longer than I have!

You know, in within the blogosphere, there seems to be so many many budding, creative, talented, *insert another nice nice adjective* bloggers who can do things with a camera we all go Wow at.


So, I thought this might spark an interest. All the Malaysians who have a camera and an internet connection would probably want to join but competitions are fun are they not? It's a Photography Competition that's being held in conjunction with our Fiftieth Anniversary by...the Star I guess.

Theme's are
Our Home • At Work • At Play • Our Beliefs • Our Culture • Our Heritage • Our Cities / Towns / Kampungs.

Pretty general I think. *Thinks hard*...Photograph your toilet if you want to for the "Our Home" category...Or you could photograph yourself stuck to your computer screen for "At Play" =)

Okay, so that would probably cause the organizers to blacklist you from any other competitions organized by them, but if you could pull it off, hey, you deserve to win dontcha?

Win what?

There are three categories.
School children & Youth Category
(aged 18 years and below as at 1st January 2006)

With all of the "gao shou" (High hands slash elites) and "ren chai" (orang yang berbakat slash talents) around...I'm sure there must be somebody interested somewhere...Uhrm, somewhere...

Wen Qi's beloved...

So...don't kill your cameras in the process of hunting for the perfect picture to send in!
