PETALING JAYA (July 15): Judges for the S P Setia Bhd and TheEdgeProperty.com World Environment Day photo competition (Photocomp) had a tough time choosing the top five photos at a judging session yesterday.
The photos had to come with captions that best described the contest theme — “A Better World That Is Close To Nature”.
The judges were S P Setia Bhd head of group branding and communications Adelene Wong, illustrator Latfy Anuar Latif, TheEdgeProperty.com editor Lam Jian Wyn and contributing editor Sharon Kam.
Latfy, popularly known as Dr Lat, is the author of a childrens’ colouring comic book titled “My better world — The Adventures of Eco Eco”. The colouring book was part of S P Setia’s corporate social responsibility programme in educating children to appreciate and conserve the environment.
Wong said through this competition, the organisers aspire to help drive home not only the beauty and importance of Mother Nature but, more significantly, the message that all of us must never take the environment for granted.
Lam said the contest, which ran from June 5 to 30, attracted over 200 entries via Instagram, Facebook and TheEdgeProperty.com’s website.
“The photos went through a public online voting system. The top 50 photos then came under the scrutiny of the judges who decided on the top five photos with captions that best matched the chosen theme,” she added.
The winners will be announced at a prize-giving ceremony to be held in the coming weeks.
