The Philippine Embassy will conduct a Photography Contest from 1 July to 1 August 2010. Simply titled “Filipinos in South Korea,” the contest is open to all Filipino nationals living in South Korea who will be asked to submit photographs that feature Filipinos as they work, study, find recreation, attend religious services or, plainly put, live their daily lives in South Korea.

The grand prize winner will receive a roundtrip ticket to the Philippines courtesy of Cebu Pacific and cash award. Top winners will also receive certificates of excellence from the Philippine Embassy. Selected photos will be included in a book about Filipinos in South Korea, which the Philippine Embassy will publish later this year as part of its activities for the 60th anniversary of the Philippine participation in the Korean War.
