The Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation, Inc. (FPPF), in partnership with TECNO, today launched the ICONIC Philippines CAMON 20 Pro Series Photography Contest.
Open to Filipino amateurs, hobbyists and professionals, the contest seeks out photos that depict what it means to be a Filipino. It is meant to bring out the contestants’ creativity and talent in capturing the quintessential Filipino spirit.
Entry submissions for the first round will run from July 11 to 21. Five (5) finalists will each receive a TECNO CAMON 20 Pro 5G, which they will use to take photos for the final round. The finalists will compete for the third- to first-place spots. Third place will receive PhP20,000; second place will receive Php30,000; and first place will receive Php50,000.
“This contest is very timely. It uplifts the Filipino spirit, highlights our culture and country, and at the same time gives Filipino photography enthusiasts and professionals the opportunity to showcase their talents. We are able to do this project with the generous support of TECNO. Their smartphones can take photos that are as good as traditional cameras,” said Mr. Eduvegis Huang, FPPF Chairman.
