IF JAPAN
AND PHOTOGRAPHY are two of the things you love, then this might be your chance
to be recognized as a winning photographer with a chance to visit or revisit
Tokyo as the grand prize winner. Join the TOKYO Around You Photo Contest and
get a chance to win two roundtrip tickets to Tokyo. The mechanics are very easy
and simple. Just submit your favorite photo of Tokyo during your previous
visit/s in the place.
But what
if you have never been to Tokyo, will you still be able to join the contest? You
still can! Just submit any photo that reminds us of Tokyo or at least anything taken
in your place that connects or shows your relationship to Japan’s metropolis.
How to
join? Here’s the three simple steps: First, go to Facebook and hit the LIKE
button on the page “Tokyo Fan Club.” The name appears in their profile photo
with a smiley face on it. Second, select your best photo for your entry and
submit it to their page. Third, you may vote for your own photo (of course)
then share your entry with your friends to accumulate more votes on your photo entry.
Who are
eligible to join the contest? If you call yourself a decent human being, with
an age over 13 years old and live outside Japan, give yourself three checks. Furthermore,
you must be willing to be famous on Facebook. Well don’t expect “Brangelina
break-up” famous ‘cause what I meant to say is, you will be documented or you
will document yourself by taking photos – oh yeah, selfie – receiving the prize
and while traveling to Tokyo using the prize air tickets, and post these on
your Facebook account, tagging the award-giving organization’s Facebook page.
Make sure these are appropriate photos or these will be deleted by the sponsors.
Lastly, you must give Tokyo Fan Club the rights to use any or all photos taken
related to the contest and awards received, and/or comments made for
promotional use.
So if
you think you got what it takes to be an awesome photographer wandering about
the busy streets of Shibuya, Shinjuku and Akihabara, etc. submit your entry
now. Submission ends October 11th and you will also have the chance
to invite your family and friends to like your photo entry until the last day
of submission. Winners will be announced on the 20th of the same
month. What are you waiting for? Go to Tokyo Fan Club’s page now.
Disclaimer:
I neither connected to Tokyo Fan Club nor do I receive any marketing fees for sharing
this good news. I’m just in the writing mood and feeling hardworking to blog
these days, and not to mention, I am NOT eligible to join this contest for I am
physically located in Japan now. Anyway, good luck!
