Photo contest for Mandaue Business Month
Wilson Ng writes about the Sugbu Kini photo/video tagging contest in his Sun.Star Cebu column.
With the onset of digital photography, we no longer have to buy film and pay for developing. This has increased interest in photography and video. Due to a heightened interest in photography, there are probably millions of photos of Cebu in thousands of websites and computers worldwide. Scores of them are uploaded to social networking sites like Facebook or Friendster, and more are put into public photo libraries like Picasa, Photobucket or Flickr. Millions of videos are in YouTube, and other sites.
However, many photos are not properly labeled, tagged or uploaded to the Internet.
We figured that if we can just make people upload and properly label photos on to the Internet, it would be easier for Internet surfers worldwide to find pictures of Cebu.
This is the reason we are launching the contest. Those who can find photos of different towns and cities in Cebu on the Internet can join as well; they just have to note the URL where the photos are posted and submit their labels or keywords to our web-site.
