MTWD has launched a photography competition inspired by water in all its forms and as a precious resource to be protected and promoted through the powerful medium of the photograph.

EIGHT aspiring photographers from different government agencies in Region II joined the photo contest.

Meanwhile, the panel of judges were Ramoncito Carlo E. Ramirez, Reiniel F. Pasquin and Jazl Sanj Jigz P. Taong all are photography experts from Tuguegarao City. They shared some thoughts and gave pieces of advice to the participants before the competition. The said contest was held at DON DOMINGO PUBLIC MARKET at exactly 9:30 am to 11:00 am.  The photos should capture the essence of Filipino’s everyday life and should focus on the theme, “Water and Waste Water.”
