2012 Vice Chairman’s Christmas Competition

As is our tradition, we hold a special “Vice Chairman’s Christmas Competition” with the theme determined by our Vice Chairman, this year’s Competition will be held on Monday December 3rd. The details have been drafted by Sandy, our vice-chairperson, as below:
“Portrait of an Icon”
Here’s your opportunity to make contact with your favourite idol, hero, celebrity, or a special someone who inspires you. For our End of Year Christmas Competition, we would like to call for submissions of portraits of an icon. The icon represented in the photograph should be a person who has made substantial contribution to a certain field. The icon does not need to be a famous person that everyone knows; it just needs to be a person who has made a significant contribution worthy of praise.
Please also submit a couple of sentences to explain who your icon is and their contribution via email and we’ll print it out to accompany your image. The explanation will also be read out when we review the submissions.
Each person can only submit two images, and we allow prints and digital entries but no slides.
The prize is something super amazing and will be announced in due course.
