Would you like

win a camera?

17/21 Club members, get out your cameras

or borrow one from your parents, buy yourselves lots of film, and GET BUSY! For today, the 17/21 Club announces the opening of an exciting new photo- graphic competition.

And as prizes we are offering three expensive Minolta The cameras for the winners of the three sections. three runners-up will get flash-guns, and the three third-place getters will be awarded stocks of film and paper.

Restricted to black and white photographs (which must be mounted) not larger than 16 x 20 inches and not smaller than 8 x 10 inches, the competition will close on Monday, October 2.

And on the following Saturday, October 7, we shall be able to tell you which members are the club's best photographers.

The three sections open to you are: Portraits, Pets, General.

You may send in as many entries as you like, but you, must accompany each with a completely filled in and signed entry form.

Take the competition seriously, and send in some first-class work. The judges will be four of Hongkong's most distinguished photographers.

We hope that our present series on photography "The Third Eye" will provide you with some invaluable help.

Naturally, the competition is open only to members. Any non-members wishing to join, and if they are between the ages of 17 and 21, have only to fill in an ordinary membership form to be found in this section and send it in together with a competition entry form and their entry. You may send in your entries whenever you like, but -none will be accepted after October 2.
