FPPF “Pista ng Quiapo” Photo Contest

The Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation (FPPF) will be
holding an on-the-spot photo contest to coincide with the celebration of the
Feast of the Black Nazarene on January 9, 2007.

portraying the essence of the feast as thousands of devotees of the
life-sized, dark-skinned Christ are drawn.

For more than two hundred years since the tradition began, followers brave
the rough and tumble rush to touch the statue, an illustration of a truly
unique Filipino experience. A special contest which dwells on the subject
of the historical landmarks of Quiapo will also be held. One should be able
to capture photographs of the church, the mosque, the old buildings and
the old houses, as well as other familiar sights that are quintessentially Quiapo.

All photographers whether amateurs or professionals are encouraged to join
this event. Interested parties can pre-register at the FPPF office at Rm.
302A Femii Building A. Soriano Avenue, Intramuros Manila.

Participants can also register on the day of the event at Acel Store in R. Hidalgo St.,
Quiapo. A P200 registration fee includes a roll of film.
