Harmony of Hong Kong in Your Frame Photo Contest is open to ALL photographers at least 18 years of age, except members and staff of Anatolia Cultural & Dialogue Centre and their immediate families. The contest is open to all Hong Kong residents regardless of citizenship, so long as the laws of their jurisdiction allow participation.

What to Enter

We are looking for striking digital images of Hong Kong which represent its characteristic life in sum; the harmony of it. Your images may be taken anywhere in Hong Kong. Your images can be in accordance with any kind of  categories like Landscape, Architecture, City Life & Portrait, Social Life.. etc.

Please do not include photographs unrelated to the topic. Please also do not send any photos related to disorder and chaos.  If you choose to include people in your submission, you are responsible for obtaining the necessary releases from the individuals depicted, and must be able to provide copies of those releases to The Cultural Centre upon request. Entrants must not submit images that infringe on the rights of any other photographer or person.

All photographs should accurately reflect the subject matter and the scene as it appeared. Photos that have been digitally altered beyond standard optimisation (removal of dust, cropping, reasonable adjustments to exposure, colour and contrast, etc.) will be disqualified. Multiple exposures that have been combined to produce a single “High Dynamic Range” image are acceptable. Images that do not meet these requirements may or may not be judged at the judging panel’s sole discretion.

Photographs submitted should be in digital, minimum 6 megapixels and in JPEG or RAW format. Watermarks are not allowed in submissions. Previous published material for which non-exclusive rights were granted may be entered as long as you still maintain the right to grant us license. You must be able to disclose when & where the photo appeared.

Photo captions must accompany all submissions, and should include the subject of the image, the location the image was taken, and the name of the photographer(s).

Images will be judged on originality, technical excellence, composition, overall impact and artistic merit. Anatolia Cultural and Dialogue Centre determines winner eligibility in its sole and absolute discretion. All decisions made by the judges are final.
