Capture Nature - Environmental Photography Competition

Capture Nature is an annual environmental digital photography competition initiated by a group of students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Started in 2007, the event allows the passion youths have for photography to be channelled towards environmental awareness, conservation and action. This year, the competition will be held in conjunction with the ASEAN+3 Youth Festival, a youth-for-youth initiative supported by the National Youth Council, Singapore.

The slogan for this competition is “Don’t Let It Melt In Your Hands”. This competition is open to all youths from ASEAN + 3 countries and who are aged between 18 and 25. Participants will be required to submit the best pictures of nature in digital format, coupled with a short write-up in English to the email address included in the poster attached.

This environmental digital photography competition is initiated to allow youths to learn about environmental issues through experiential learning while having fun. The objectives of this competition are:
a) Promote awareness on the issue of global warming,
) To provide a catalyst to spark an interest in participating in environmental activities by exposing youth to the nature and
c) Educate youths on the impact of global warming.
