Next Stop Israel: Israel Scene Unseen Photo Contest
It’s been a year since we are unable to travel. We are all missing the feelings of travelling, the scenery, the café, the food… So why not travel with imagination, with a little help from people living in the same city?
To celebrate the 73rd Independence Day of Israel, the Consulate General of Israel in Hong Kong is hosting a contest of photo of Israel from the eyes of Hongkongers who have been to Israel and probably taken hundreds of photos with their mobile phones or cameras.
JUDGING
1 - A local jury panel will choose 3 winning photos under the criteria that they inspire Hongkongers to know more about Israel and to visit Israel. Depending on the number of entries, the Consulate may first shortlist the photos before the judges’ evaluation.
2 - A most-liked photo will be voted by the public in May 2021 on the Consulate’s Facebook and Instagram pages.
PANEL OF JUDGES
Vivian Chow, Hong Kong singer-songwriter and actress
Benny Li, Hong Kong writer and traveller
Henry Steiner, Father of Hong Kong graphic designer
William Tang, Hong Kong fashion designer and traveller
Kimman Wong, Hong Kong singer-songwriter
