“We also monitored a 73.43-percent increase in our website users after we announced the start of the photography competition,” Tengco said.
“We are optimistic that with the bigger cash prizes, lower age requirement and the new drone category, we will entice more professional photographers and hobbyists to join and showcase their talent in this competition,” Tengco added.
With this year’s theme, Harvest Time, the 2024 Pagcor Photography Contest would highlight the Filipino’s strength of character, patience and hard work in the fields, leading to and during the harvest season.
