Have a passion for photographing every plate of food in front of you? Is your Instagram feed littered with artsy photos of exotic destinations? Is your smartphone camera the lens through which you see the world? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then prepare to start snapping! 

The team at That’s PRD is excited to announce our first-ever Smartphone Photography Contest.

After a successful writing competition last year, we have decided to turn our attention to the region’s army of mobile phone photography enthusiasts and offer our readers a chance to have their images featured in our magazine, WeChat account and Instagram, as well as exhibited in-person at our 2017 Smartphone Photography Awards in April.

We encourage all creative PRD residents to submit your best mobile phone photographs (maximum three per person) to editor.prd@urbanatomy.com with the subject: Smartphone Photography Contest 2017. 

Winners will be announced at our 2017 Smartphone Photography Awards Ceremony in April and published in our May issue of That’s PRD. Prizes include hotel stays, buffet vouchers and more!

The deadline for all submissions is Friday March 24, 2017 at 6pm (China Standard Time). Finalists will be notified soon after and invited to attend the awards ceremony in mid-April. Stay tuned for more details!
