We are having a photo contest for Better Air Quality (BAQ) 2010 Conference!
This contest is kinda informal, and meant to be fun, and aims to celebrate the achievements and highlight the needs of Asian countries in the effort to clean the air in the region.
Eight winners will get bragging rights and a display space for their winning photos in the exhibition area of the BAQ Conference to be held this November 9-11 in Suntec Convention Centre, Singapore! The best photos will also be featured in the Year 2012 Calendar of the Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities (CAI-Asia), with expected distribution to over 200 organizational members and 8 country networks in Asia! That’s a lot of publicity for a winning photo, eh? :-)
To join, just send us a picture you think best represents clean air, an activity related to clean air, or actions to help keep the air clean. E-mail to baq2010@cai-asia.org until September 10 (Friday). By September 20, the BAQ Secretariat will upload 20 shortlisted photos in our Clean Air Portal and we will let the public pick the winners!
Here are the rules:
1. Send a file copy of your photo/s in .jpg format with minimum resolution of 300 dpi or 4MB and a short explanation on why you think it qualifies.
2. E-mail submissions must state that the photographer permits CAI-Asia Center to use the photo in any promotional materials or program (non-commercial of course!), provided that the photographer shall be properly acknowledged and that the intellectual property rights remains with the photographer.
3. Send as many pictures as you like so long as you actually took the picture, and that they are relevant to the topic.
4. Submit you photos by September 10 (Friday) to baq2010@cai-asia.org. Don’t forget to include the following details:

3. Each member of the Clean Air Portal gets one vote (note: you and your friends will have to sign up at http://cleanairinitiative.org/portal/communities to be able to vote!)
4. Vote by leaving a comment on the picture like, "My Favorite", or "You've got my vote", or "I am Superman"...ok that last one's a little obscure, but you get the drift.
