IRSG photo competition 2020 “Rubber is a Community”

Singapore’s International Rubber Study Group (IRSG) has announced its 2020 photo competition that is themed: “Rubber is a Community. The photo submissions should tell a story or emphasise the concept of a communal life that involves rubber at its source, in its process or as a final product/s, says IRSG.

It goes on to add that the photograph scope needs to maintain the “human footprint” either as an image or by personification. “The image produced on this theme must carefully reflect how rubber is the focal point of the environment within a community.”

The photos can be architectural, candid, chronological; based on fashion or a landscape. The focal point of the photograph is to tell a story on how rubber is a livelihood and/or an enjoyment within the community, says IRSG.
