Pusong Pinoy is inviting everyone to take part in the "CHILDREN FIRST INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION" at the Netherbow Gallery Space in Edinburgh, Scotland from December 1, 2011 through January 9, 2012.
This exhibition will capture the essence of Pusong Pinoy's work in promoting literacy to eradicate poverty, where too many children have never seen a book or have limited access to books. We are asking HEROES to submit images which will help us tell the Pusong Pinoy story. Sharing your photos will help us further our cause – to help eradicate poverty through the improvement of literacy for Filipino children. If selected, your photo will be printed to A3 size and will be a part of the exhibit. You will retain copyright.
LAST DATE FOR SUBMISSION OF PHOTO ENTRIES:
October 21, 2011

We prefer the original photo files from your hard drives. Jpegs are fine. This ensures the best quality for printing. Photos posted on Facebook are reduced in size, decreasing their resolution. To ensure that we get the best quality photos, please email the photos in their original sizes. Of course, if you have a great image, just get in touch!
Let’s go, HEROES! Spread the love for the Filipino children!
