With only three weeks left before the July 31 deadline, the Philippine Amusement and
Gaming Corporation is calling all photography enthusiasts to submit their final entries for
the 2024 PAGCOR Photography Contest with the theme, “Harvest Time”.
Interested amateur and professional photographers have until 10 p.m. on July 31 to
submit their entries which should highlight the Filipino's strength, patience and hard work during harvest season.
The images may also depict the dedication of farmers, fishers and other workers who
help ensure the country’s food production and sustainability through the harvest of their
crops and seafood products.
“We invite all those who have not yet submitted their entries to start uploading them now
through the PAGCOR website as the submission deadline draws nearer,” PAGCOR
Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said.
The PAGCOR chief said the agency has allocated a total of Php2.23 million for this
year’s cash prizes to honor the outstanding work of Filipino photographers and to
promote the country’s rich traditions.
The contest’s main categories are the Conventional Category for photos taken using all
types of digital cameras; Mobile for entries taken using mobile devices like smartphones
and tablets; and Drone – a newly added category – for aerial photos taken using drone-
mounted cameras.
Each of the eight winners from the Conventional Category is ensured of a
Php100,000.00 cash prize while each of the 16 winners from the drone and mobile
categories will take home Php50,000.00 each,” Mr. Tengco said.
“We are also giving away Php35,000.00 to each of the eight consolation prize winners
from the Conventional Category and Php20,000.00 to each of the 16 grand finalists from
the Drone and Mobile categories,” the PAGCOR chief added.
PAGCOR has also lowered the age eligibility from 18 to 16 years old to encourage more
participation, especially among the youth.
