Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) would like to invite those interested in photography � professionals & amateurs � to enter a PHOTO CONTEST with the theme: �Inspiring Thailand.�
Director Sarita Chintakanond of Information Technology Department, TCEB stated that, �From our research, we found that photos are the most influential medium for MICE professionals in choosing a business events destination. We are seeking the most inspiring photo that would make meeting & event planners want to come and hold their next business event in Thailand. Thus this is not just an ordinary photo contest, but also a photographic mission for the benefit of the country.�
The photos will be included in various PR materials when promoting Thailand. The submitted photos will be yet another inspiration among worldwide meeting planners to choose Thailand as a destination.
There will be three monetary awards for the 1st place winner in each category (Culture, Attraction, and Lifestyle), taking home a cash prize of 15,000 THB each plus a hotel voucher valued at 15,000 THB. Awards are limited to one prize per entrant.
A panel comprised of 70% TCEB representatives will judge the images on a range of factors; 30% will be based on the voting that each participant achieves. The winning photos will be announced on www.BusinessEventsThailand.com and/or www.facebook.com/businesseventsthailand.com on 15th November, 2013.
The submission period runs from 14th September � 31st October, 2013; the deadline for entries is 23.00 Thailand time on the 31st of October.
