Travel of good memories with photography contest: Israel Scene Unseen
To celebrate the 73rd Independence Day of Israel, the Consulate General of Israel in Hong Kong is hosting a photography contest of Israel from the eyes of Hongkongers who have been to Israel and probably taken hundreds of photos with their mobile phones or cameras. It's less about using a professional camera or the perfect angle (it wouldn't hurt either). It's more about sharing participants' inspiration and showing how Israel looks like in the eyes of Hongkongers. It could be anything memorable and beautiful about Israel: a must-see place, a good meal, something fun, a secret spot, an unforgettable sunset, a moment that touched you, etc.
Entries will be posted for the public to vote with a "like". Voters may receive a special gift.
Judging
1. A local jury panel will choose 3 winning photos under the criteria that they inspire Hongkongers to know more about Israel and to visit Israel. Depending on the number of entries, the Consulate may first shortlist the photos before the judges' evaluation.
2. A most-liked photo will be voted by the public during April 15-30, 2021, on the Consulate's Facebook and Instagram pages.

Vivian Chow, Hong Kong singer-songwriter and actress
