In a bid to mark the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region, the Government Information Bureau has launched the call for photo submissions of “Our 20 Years” – a special event hosted by the photo submissions portal “Macao Photo Book” (http://photo.gcs.gov.mo). The deadline for photo submissions has been extended to 31 July 2019 to attract more participation.
As stated by the above theme, submitted photos should be able to reflect the precious and happy moments of Macao and the daily life of Macao people, and Macao people’s heritage and innovation in the 20 years since the city’s Handover.
For each winning entry, its author will get MOP 800 for the photo’s right of use. Winning entries will be displayed on the webpage of “Our 20 Years” and may even get the chance of being included in the commemorative photo book “Our Two Decades”, a special publication marking the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Macao SAR.
Anyone with valid Macao ID documents is eligible to submit entries electronically via the following website: https://photo.gcs.gov.mo/our20years; participants must sign up before uploading their entries. The deadline for submissions is 31 July 2019 (24:00).
The digital platform “Macao Photo Book” was launched in 2017 to collect photos related to Macao. This year-round platform has gained the support of many photography aficionados and attracted many outstanding entries.
In the past year, three rounds of photo selections were held with the support of 8 photography organisations and 5 media associations; a total of 104 outstanding photos were selected.
