The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) today announced
the early return of its highly anticipated PAGCOR Photography Contest 2025, now
on its third year since its revival in 2023.
The competition officially kicks off on February 1, 2025 – Fifteen days earlier than
last year’s schedule – and is open to all amateur and professional Filipino
photographers aged 16 and above.
This year’s theme, “Infrastructure for Economic Development,” wants participants to
capture through photographs the pivotal role of infrastructure in driving the nation’s
progress.
“Our photo contest this year highlights the transformative impact of infrastructure
projects – including highways, bridges, seaports, airports, water and flood control
systems, power plants, green energy facilities, and digital connectivity – on our
country’s economic growth,” according to PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H.
Tengco. “These developments are crucial in fostering connectivity, facilitating trade and
commerce, creating jobs, and promoting balanced, inclusive growth across the
nation,” he added.
Participants may submit their entries under three categories: Conventional, Mobile,
and Drone.
The Conventional Category will showcase photos taken with digital cameras such as
Single Lens Reflex (SLR), compact, point-and-shoot, bridge, mirrorless and rugged
cameras.
The Mobile Category features images captured with smartphones, tablets, action
cameras, and 360 cameras while the Drone Category will highlight aerial photos
taken using drone-mounted cameras.
PAGCOR will select eight grand winners from each category.
Winners in the Conventional Category will receive Php100,000 in cash and a trophy,
while winners in the Mobile and Drone Categories will take home Php50,000 each
and a trophy.
The 24 non-winning finalists will also receive prizes.
Non-winning finalists in the Conventional Category will be awarded Php35,000 each,
while those in the Mobile and Drone Categories will receive Php20,000 each.
The PAGCOR Photo Contest 2025 will accept entries from February 1 to July 31,
2025.
