CONTEST WINNERS
To-day we have much pleasure in announcing the successful competitors in the "Hongkong Telegraph's" 1940 Summer Photographic Competition, a contest which attracted nearly 700 entries of a standard which the judges unanimously praised as the best yet attained in the Colony.
As will be seen from the judges' comments several competitors might have scored successes if they had avoided one or two erroIN. It might also be timely to point out that photographs which are not taken in Hongkong, no matter how excellent their merits, cannot secure recognition in this competition.
The "Hongkong Telegraph" expresses its grateful thanks to Messrs. E. A. von Kota- Nagy, 1. H. C. Bighet and 11. E. Frisque who so kindly, and with care and thoughtfulness, judged the competition Theirs was a difficult task.
A public exhibition of the prize-winning photographa together with those commended and nany other notable entries will open in the Board Room, Morning Post Building, on Monday next from 9 a.m, to 6 p.m., daily, until Thursday, Oct. 17.

The results in this 500- sion were most encouraging, The_ section is one of great importance for the simple reason that it is noi sufficient for the competitor to photograph something that is artistic and then leave the really artistic work of finishing to the professional.
