The Press Photographers of the Philippines-Cebu (PPP-Cebu) in partnership with GMR MEGAWIDE Cebu Airport Corporation and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, will be initiating a photo contest among photojournalism students of the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJR) this coming August 24-25, 2019 at the Mactan Cebu International Airport in Lapu-Lapu City.
The photo contest will be participated by 57 students divided into eight groups. Four groups are scheduled on the 24th and the other four groups on the 25th from 4:00 a.m. up to 11:00 a.m.
The theme of the photo contest is “Framing an Icon: A Visual Exploration of Mactan-Cebu International Airport Terminal 2.”
The officers and members of the PPP-Cebu will be mentoring these aspiring photojournalists.
Twenty photographs will be picked as finalists and will become part of a photo exhibit during the Press Freedom week celebration set this coming September 2019. During the opening day of the photo exhibit, the top three winners will be announced and the mentor of these three (3) winners will also receive an award.
The objective of this event is not only to showcase the world-class International Airport Cebu has but as well as to encourage and inspire these students to become future visual journalists through the side by side photowalk experience with the experienced photographers and photojournalists.
This is also one of the pre-events for the upcoming National Photojournalism Congress set this November 2019 hosted by PPP- Luzon.
Among the PPP-Cebu mentors who confirmed are Carlo Olano of Kalami Cebu, Louie Miguel Veloso of Zoominglife.com, Gerard Pareja of Cebu Daily News, Allan Tangcawan of Sunstar Superbalita, Alex Badayos of Sunstar Cebu, and Arlene Solis Chua of Zoominglife.com
