Win Big by Joining the 4th PAGCOR National Photo Contest

Photography enthusiasts have a chance to win big cash prizes by joining the 4th national photography contest of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation or PAGCOR. For this year's contest, the theme is “Throwback” to depict positive images that are reminiscent of the Filipinos’ traditional way of life, cultural practices, native dishes, traits, celebrations, among others. 

The Assistant Vice President for Corporate Communications, of PAGCOR, Maricar Bautista said that the theme of its photo contests have always been consistent with the corporation’s mandate to help promote tourism and local culture. She said, “This year, we will be looking for photos that evoke memories from our country’s cultural past. These may include practices that were handed down from one generation to the next, historical sites, traditional dishes or anything that shows the Philippines’ glorious past." 

 The 4th PAGCOR Photography Competition has two categories:
 the Conventional Category (for images taken using any type of traditional and compact camera) and the Mobile Category (for photos taken using devices like mobile/cellular phones, tablets and the like).

Photos to be submitted may be taken anywhere in the Philippines. Each participant can only submit a maximum of two photo entries. It may be one entry for each category or 2 entries for just one category.
