Dear PAFSO Members,
You are invited to participate in the third annual PAFSO Photo Contest, “The World Through Canadian Eyes.” The contest is intended to showcase compelling photographs which reflect the exciting and at times challenging aspects of the FS experience. Winning entries will be displayed at the PAFSO Awards Dinner on June 7, and some will be featured in a future edition of bout de papier, as well as in the 2013 PAFSO desk calendar.
Guidelines: Photographs submitted should capture the exciting and at times challenging aspects of our lives as FS at home or abroad. Judges will select the winning entries in light of their creativity, composition and visual impact.
Eligibility: The contest is open to all PAFSO Members. Spouses and dependents are welcome to contribute, but photographs need to be submitted under a member’s name. There is a limit of three entries per member. Submissions must be original images and not have been previously published. Please include your full name in the image file name.
Submission Deadline: All entries must be received by Wednesday, May 30, 2012.
