Contest: Letters to Tomorrow 2007

December 13, 2007 · Filed Under contests · Comment 

Theme: “Celebration of Our Living Culture”

Look around and find something you wish to pass along to the future - in your family, community or country. As each entry, we call for a photograph of people who transmit living culture, together with a text in your own words.

Please try to depict people who are engaged in traditional music, theatre and dance, folklore and legend, social practices, rituals and festive events, traditional handicrafts such as wood carving, dyeing and weaving, and cultural spaces such as those for prayers, rituals and gatherings.

Please select some part of your valuable culture which has been nurtured in nature, and passed from people to people, hand to hand and heart to heart, in other words “Living Heritage” around you, and those people who pass along such living culture, in a spontaneous and natural scene.

Photographs which depict solely tangible cultural heritage, e.g. historical buildings and archeological sites, will not be acceptable.

ACCU plans to organise the following contests.
Letters to Tomorrow 2009: “Water and Life on PLANET EARTH”
Letters to Tomorrow 2011: “Joy of Learning and Communicating”
