According to the Department of Information and Public Relations, there will be a ‘Beautiful Myanmar’ colour photo contest to commemorate the 76th Independence Day.
The contest will be held to commemorate the 76th Independence Day, which falls on 4 January 2024. According to the Department of Information and Public Relations, invitations are extended to participate in the competition with photos that depict the essence of independence, such as the country’s development, peace, stability, the beauty of ethnic tradition, cultural heritage, and landmarks, places, and people that are prominent in the struggle for independence.
An official from the department stated that it must be a colour photo taken in Myanmar with any type of camera. The size of the image must only be 10 and 15 inches, and there is no limit to the number of contestant photos.
A total of 751 postcards were submitted to participate in the colour photo competition on the 75th Diamond Jubilee Independence Day last year, and 199 experts selected the postcards.
Contestants must fill in their name, number of Citizenship Scrutiny Card (CSC), address, phone number, location, and content of the photo taken in a separate letter on the back of the competing photo and send it to the Yangon Region Information and Public Relations Department by 31 October. — TWA/CT
