In celebrating the IIAS 20^th anniversary, readers and friends of IIAS are invited to contribute to its growing image collection, used for its newsletter, by taking part in the IIAS Photo Contest.

The final deadline for entries is 30 June 2014

The categories for entries are:

Asian Cities

Global Asia

Asian Heritages

Asia's Pop Culture

Everyday Life in Asia

Asia by Mobile

This photo contest, on the special occasion of 20 years IIAS, offers you the chance to have your photo published in The Newsletter. We would like to give you the opportunity to tell a visual story, to explore photography’s capacity for communication, to capture the unexpected, and to share with us the world you live in.

The photos you send will automatically become eligible for publication in The IIAS Newsletter (always accredited to you), and to further reward you we are giving away a number of prizes, which will be in the form of gift vouchers from various online shops (selected according to where the winner lives), with which you could acquire, for example, new photographic equipment (cameras, lenses, etc.) or literature.
