ASEAN Photo Contest

[kwksand]

Here is another photo contest to think about, since there is a buzz about the calendar contest here. The association of southeast Asian nations (ASEAN) has a section called the ASEAN centre for biodiversity. They are running a photo contest of Asian biodiversity, and awarding a generous prize to the top three student, amateur, and professional contestants. Apparently, only residents of the ASEAN member states are eligible:

Brunei Darussalam
Cambodia
Indonesia
Lao PDR
Malaysia
Myanmar / Burma
Philippines
Singapore
Thailand
Viet Nam

I know I've seen posts from these countries on here before, but I'm sorry I don't remember anyone specifically. Why not try to bring attention to the Asian newts, salamanders, or other amphibians. Many of you are gifted photographers, and I can't imagine a judge who wouldn't favor a nice big close up of Laotriton or one of the gliding tree frogs. Contest ends August 30th. Good luck.

By coincidence, a friend sent me this today - another photo contest, this one from the National Wildlife Federation:

NWF is a US wildlife organization, best known (to me at least) for their 'backyard wildlife habitat' certification program.

Jen, shouldn't you really make a different thread for this?
