FCCT PHOTOJOURNALISM CONTEST RESULTS
In late 2007, FCCT held the FCCT Photojournalism Contest 2007. Photographers from across Southeast Asia submitted hundreds of images for the contest. Categories included Spot News, Feature Photography, Sport Photography and Photo Essay, and Daily Life. The winning images come from just about everywhere, including Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, China and beyond. FCCT extends its warm thanks to the generous sponsors for the contest: Canon, Dusit International and Global Hotel Alliance, Star Alliance, The Oriental and Anantara. All provided valuable and exciting prizes for our winners and Canon graciously printed the photos for the exhibition.
