Hello. Thanks for posting this. May I suggest to the organizers to make adjustment (now or next time) to the time-gap between the last day of the coverage period (Sep 1) and the deadline of submission of entries (Sep 2). So we can be fair to participants who hail from distant places who may have taken photos at the last minute - so they can have sufficient time to prepare and send-in their entries. Thank you again. More power.
HI, I think we can arrange the submission date with the organizer.
thanks for dropping by! we've noted your comment and as Mr. OSG said we'll surely let the organizers know about your very valid suggestion. be sure to check every now and then for updates.

hi net,
napag usapan na namin ni omar, sept 10,2010 na deadline ng submission, judging will be on sept 13,may trophy din tayo i award. thanks!
tnx bendaps..
@lok..from what i know of photo contests, i think judging is per photo. but as they stated in their mechanics, you can submit as many entries/photos as you want.
maybe we can make like a coffee table type of presentation? is that it? pls clarify. i'm willing to take part on the activity as i am a resident of polomolok.
hi anonymous (pls indicate your name at the bottom of your comment so i can address you better) =)
From what i know of photo contests, usually, magsu-submit ka ng printed individual photos in this case in 8x12 prints sealed in an envelope. individual photo kasi talaga usually ang judging pag photocontest dearie =) (pls read the mechanics above)
..but maybe at the end of the contest, they can compile all the photos of the joining entries in a coffeetable book format. but thats still up to the organizers. thanks again for your interest in this!
