Tourism Ministry announces photography and short video contest

PUTRAJAYA: The Tourism and Culture Ministry is organising a photography and short video contest in conjunction with the #SayangMalaysia Social Media campaign.

Aspiring video makers and shutterbugs stand a chance of winning attractive prizes by uploading their best work to social media.

To enter, participants are required to submit a creative photo or short video related to the uniqueness and diversity of Malaysia’s diverse food and beverages.

For the short video competition, participants need to upload a 30- to 60-second short video on Instagram and Facebook with the hashtags #SayangMalaysia and #MyCuisine.

The competition, which runs from Jan 1 to Feb 28 2018, offers attractive prizes for the top three winners, including domestic flight tickets, accommodation at popular domestic destinations, theme park tickets and shopping vouchers.

There will also be five consolation prizes.

The ministry is set to organise six photography and short video competitions throughout 2018 under six sub-themes, including #MyCuisine, #MyDestination, #MyCulture, #MyHeritage, #MyShopping and #MyFamilyFun.

The competition is part of the ministry’s efforts to make Malaysia a premier tourist destination.
