SUMMARY:Zooming in on Biodiversity: ASEAN-wide Photo Contest
DESCRIPTION:Zooming in on Biodiversity\, a photo contest conceptualized by the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB)\, is open to all amateur and professional photographers from the 10 ASEAN Member States. \nWhile 2020 has been designated as the “super year for biodiversity\,” it is also the year when the world was hit hard by the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This pandemic resulted to lockdowns in many countries\, travel bans\, and movement restrictions. Hence\, the theme for this year’s staging is Healing with Biodiversity: Building a Better Normal\, to promote appreciation for the Region’s rich biodiversity and thereby promote its conservation to prevent future pandemics. \nOver-all Theme: Healing with Biodiversity: Building a Better Normal \nSubmissions can be photos depicting humans’ perception of biodiversity in the time of a global health crisis\, their appreciation for the Region’s wildlife species\, and conservation initiatives to prevent future pandemics. \nSub-themes: \n\nGlimpse of a Better Normal – Photo entries for this sub-theme can be views from a person’s window\, nature in the time of lockdowns\, photos that portray social distancing\, photos showing how humans live in harmony with nature\, and portraits of ASEAN wildlife species in their natural habitats.\nThe Macro Life – Entries can be photos of plants and animal species using macro lenses. Since a lot of areas are under strict lockdowns\, photographers may not be able to take good outdoor shots. This sub-theme will allow them to magnify species that can easily be found in their homes\, gardens\, and other areas near them.\n\nSpecial Category: Life within and around ASEAN Heritage Parks \nThe ASEAN Heritage Parks (AHP) Programme is a flagship programme of the ASEAN that was established to recognise national parks and nature reserves with outstanding wilderness and biodiversity values. It offers opportunities to strengthen regional connectivity and cooperation\, as ecosystems and their services transcend national borders. The ACB serves as the Secretariat of the AHP Programme. \nThe AHPs are outstanding protected areas in the ASEAN region in terms of ecological completeness\, biodiversity richness\, and conservation importance. \nThis special category will highlight the natural and cultural richness of ASEAN Heritage Parks. Photos should be taken in any of the 49 declared AHPs. \nPrizes \n\nFirst Place: USD 1700\nSecond Place: USD 1200\nThird Place: USD 600\nSpecial Category (ASEAN Heritage Parks): USD 400\nPeople’s Choice: USD 400\nThe People’s Choice award shall be given to the most liked photo uploaded on the ACB’s official Facebook account which can be accessed at facebook.com/ASEANBiodiversity.\n\nDeadline of submission of entries: 15 September 2020 \nSource: https://www.aseanbiodiversity.org/zoomingin/ \n
