To all photographers in SGheadphones, I would like to draw your attention to an event which my society, the NUS Photographic Society is organising - Montage 2005 - The Mosaic of Life.

 

Montage, is an annual national-wide Photographic Competition / Exhibition / Seminar which will be hosted at Suntec Exhibition & Convention Centre Theatre.

 

The competition is open to all and is on now till 26th of May 2005. We have a wide range of prizes this year, with the top prize being a Canon EOS350D. This year's theme will be open-ended to let photographers explore the limits of their creativity.

 

100 outstanding shots will also be exhibited at Suntec Level 2 Foyer from 11th to 25th June.

 

For the seminar, we have invited 3 professional photographers from different fields to share their experiences and techniques.

 

Ruth Soh - Fashion and Celebrity Photography

Tony Wu - Underwater Photography

Heh, as part of the organizing committee I don't think I qualify to take part in this competition. But I do hope that all the photo siao on SGheadphones will take part.

 

Rips, if you wish to submit your photographs, I can drop by your workplace and collect from you after my exams in early May. I need to get some supplies for my Digital Media lab in school. Hehe, if you don't mind you can be collection point for SGheadphones

 

Regarding the photographs. There should be no issue with the border, it need not be a borderless print to qualify. However what do you actually mean by cropped pictures ? As in non-standard image size ?

 

Thanks to all for your interest

Images submitted need not be of traditional standard print size. But as long as it is as close to 8R, Super 8R or A4 size its ok.
