11:21:00 PM


Good day mga KaToto! Just read this exciting and shareable news all. After a six-year break, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is reviving its nationwide photography contest, and this time with even bigger prizes!

The theme of this year's contest is "Sa’n Tayo Next?" and it aims to showcase the raw beauty and potential of lesser-known destinations in the Philippines. This is a wonderful opportunity for both amateur and professional photographers to share their vision of the country's stunning landscapes and win some generous cash prizes.

The contest will begin on February 15th, 2023 and PAGCOR's Assistant Vice President for Corporate Communications, Carmelita Valdez, said that the state-run gaming agency wants to give photographers of all skill levels a chance to showcase the beauty of the Philippines. A total of P1.6 million will be given away in cash prizes to the winners and finalists.

The theme "Sa’n Tayo Next?" is inspired by the common question travelers ask each other after experiencing an incredible trip. It's a question that sparks excitement for the next adventure, and the PAGCOR Photography Contest 2023 hopes to tap into that energy to help boost the tourism sector as it recovers from the pandemic.

This year's contest will have two categories: Conventional and Mobile. The Conventional Category includes photos taken with traditional cameras like Single Lens Reflex or Digital SLR, compact cameras, etc. The Mobile Category includes photos taken with apps on mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, drone-mounted cameras, and action cameras. Participants must be 18 years or older and can submit up to two entries under one category or one entry for each category.

The deadline for submissions is on July 31st, 2023. The grand winners of the Conventional Category will receive P80,000 each, while the grand winners of the Mobile Category will receive P35,000 each. There will also be cash prizes for the non-winning grand finalists and a special prize for the "Most Liked Photo" in each category.

This is the 5th time PAGCOR is holding its nationwide photography contest, and it's a great opportunity for photographers to showcase their skills and passion for capturing the beauty of the Philippines.
