Deadline: September 6, 2015
The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) invites photographers to participate in On the Go Photo Competition. This competition is to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). “On the Go” theme is the motion and the pace of life in Asia and Europe, illustrating those moments how Asians and Europeans can be different — and yet so alike. The competition seeks photographs that suggest new perspectives of seeing the differences and similarities between Asia and Europe by showing people and scenes in motion, captured in everyday situations in Asia or Europe.
The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) promotes understanding, strengthens relationships and facilitates cooperation among the people, institutions and organisations of Asia and Europe. ASEF enhances dialogue, enables exchanges and encourages collaboration across the thematic areas of culture, economy, education, governance, public health and sustainable development.
