Origin Of Competitions It is interesting to recall origin of The Hongkong Telegraph" Photographie 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 illustrate plenie or bathing studies, were actually notable for their beauty as land or seascapes,

Standard Raised

it was then decided to raise the standard of the competition 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 "Hongtong Telegraph" Annual Competition now ranks a the Icading-Amateur Photographic-Com- petition in this part of the world. For the past few years, pletures accepted this Competition have found their way to the leading photo- Reuphic centres of the world, and have been exhibited at the Royal Photographle Society's Exhibitions in Londen, and at exhibitions of equal merit at Amsferdun, 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 love plready been received us 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 Exhibition will remain open until Friday.
