World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) Viet Nam and the
Sai Gon Tiep Thi (Sai Gon Marketing) newspaper have invited photo and video
entries in a competition about climate change to mark Earth Hour 2010.
"We
are asking people to be creative in thinking about what climate change means to
them, and how they view this global threat. We all have a different
perspective, and the effects will affect each of us differently,"
explained Jonathan De Luca, Communications Officer of WWF Viet Nam.
Judges
will be looking for entries that focus on earth hour, address the effects of
climate change or depict positive actions that can be made in Viet Nam.
Photos
and videos will be judged based on the message expressed and on the quality of
the submission.
The
winning photos and videos will be published in Sai Gon Tiep Thi. In addition to
being displayed on WWF's website, they may also be used in future Earth Hour
campaigns to raise awareness on climate change.
Prizes
include electronic products from LG and Canon for the top four photo
submissions and best three video submissions with total prize money of VND100
million (US$5,000).
Vietnamese
interested to enter can send photos to: earthhour.vietnam@wwf
greater mekong.org and upload video submissions to Youtube then email the
link by April 4. Contest results will be announced by mid April.
