The WYNG Masters Award launched in 2012 and aims to support and raise the level of photography as an art form in Hong Kong while at the same time utilizing the medium of photography to discuss pressing social issues of importance to Hong Kong. The 2013 theme is AIR.

WMA Open Photo Contest (which serves as the first program of the WYNG Media Initiative) will engage the public at large on issues connected to the topic of AIR by inviting them to submit photographs and to discuss the subject in real time. To extend this dialogue, the WMA Open Photo Contest will maintain a photo library of images governed by Creative Commons licenses for educational uses eg. lectures and non-commercial projects, with appropriate attribution, as well as serving as a photographic history of contemporary Hong Kong.

The future vision for WMA is one of an evolving and expanding entity gradually opening up to other artistic forms of expression. Check out more at their new website http://www.wma.hk.

Deadline for Submissions:
WMA Open Photo Contest - 17 July 2013
WYNG Masters Award for Photography - 17 September 2013
