venue,
Origin Of Competitions It is interesting to recall the origin of The "Hongkong Telegraph" Photographic Competitions. In 1931, it was decided to conduct a "Bathing and Pienie Pictures Competition" during the summer months, and the Innovation proved successful,
The majority of over one thousand entries received, were mainly contact prints. Although all of the entries were exhibited, some difficulty was experienced in spreading them out in order to make a show, The follow- ing year, some of the competitors sent in enlargements, which, although purporting to ilustrate picnic or bathing studies, were actually notable for their beauty as land or seascapes,
Standard Raised
It was then decided to raise tha standard of the compatiilon along the lines of competitions held in Europe and the United States. Sec- tions devoted to special studies were Inaugurated, the response being most gratifying.
Since then, the standard of work has improved year by year, with the result that the "Ilongkong Telegraph" Annual Compeition now ranks as the "loading" Amateur Photographie Com
petition in this part of the world. For the past few years, pictures accepted in this Competition havo found their way to the leading photo- grophic centres of the world, and have been exhibited at the Royal Photographlu Society's Exhibitions In London, and at exhibitions of equal merit at Amsterdam, The Hague, New York, and in various Australian cities.
Next year will mark the Competi- tion's decenium. It is Indicative of the great interest shown, that en- quiries have already been received as to whether there will be any special features to celebrate the occasion. This is, of course, a question which will receive careful consideration in due course.
In view of the interest shown, the Exbibition will remain open until Friday,
