The contest is to celebrate 25 years of GMS economic cooperation. The Greater Mekong sub-region includes Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.
“On the occasion of 25 years of GMS economic cooperation, we want to review achievements in the cooperation program and its influences on the locals’ lives,” said Nguyen Minh Cuong, Head of the GMS Program Department.
The photo contest is open to photographers from member countries of ADB. Entries must be previously unpublished and reflect changes in the Mekong sub-region over 25 years of implementing the cooperation. To take part in the contest, participants must have their own Instagram accounts and simply add the hashtag: #GMS25. Photos can be posted from January 8 to February 2.
The first, second and third prizes will be USD 500, USD 200, and USD 100, respectively. The winning photos will be judged according to their contents, quality or the number of Instagram likes.
