The fact that all entries received this year were enlargements laxed the space available for the Exhibi tion, and those whose pletures are not being shown will doubtless appreciate the dimeulty of securing suitable venue.

Origin Of Competitions

It Is Interesting to recall the origin of The "Hongkong Telegraph" Photographie Competitions. In 1931, it was decided to conduct a "Batblog and Plenic 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 ustrate plente bathing studies, were actually notable for their beauty as land or scoscapes,
