CSC launches online photo tilt for gov’t workers

THE CIVIL Service Commission (CSC) on Tuesday launched a photography contest, which seeks to use positive imagery in coping with the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic. 

In a media release, CSC said the project themed “Journey to the New Normal” must communicate the various new norms or behavior which may effectively inspire others on how to deal with the impact of the Covid-19 situation.
The images, the CSC said, must convey “the beauty and importance of living despite the uncertainty and discomfort brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic” and “must strongly attract the imagination of the viewer to ensure positive outlook in their hearts and minds”.
It is open to all Filipino public servants, except employees of the CSC including their relatives up to the second degree of affinity or consanguinity.
The contest is ongoing, and submission of entries is until July 31, 2020 at 5 p.m.
Each participant is allowed to submit only one entry.
Upon submission of entry, the contestants grant the CSC full permission to use the photos in any official CSC material.
Photo entries must comply with the following requirements:
- Must be original
- Must not contain copyrighted material, violence, nudity, or obscenity
- Must be colored (black and white or sepia photos are not allowed)
- Must be in JPEG or JPG format with at least 300 dpi and maximum file size of 10 MB
- Must not be digitally altered and/or enhanced
- Watermarked photos or those that have been previously submitted or have won in any local or international photography contest will be disqualified.
- Photos must have been taken starting 1 July 2020
Participants should submit their entry to the official email address of the CSC Regional Office (CSC RO) with jurisdiction over where they are located.
CSC said, for example, if the participant is in the National Capital Region, he or she should submit an entry via email to the CSC National Capital Region.
The directory of CSC ROs may be accessed through the CSC website at www.csc.gov.ph.
There will be three winners from each region.
The third prize in each region will receive PHP2,000; the second prize, PHP3,000; and the first prize, PHP5,000.
From the pool of regional winners, the CSC will choose three entries as the national winners.
The third prize will receive PHP10,000; the second prize, PHP12,000; and the first prize, PHP15,000.
Winners will be notified via email. The winning photos will also be announced and showcased in the CSC website and official social media pages on Sept. 15, 2020.
CSC Announcement No. 16, s. 2020 containing the full contest guidelines can be accessed on the CSC website at www.csc.gov.ph.

The online photo contest is one of the events lined up for the 120th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA) celebration this September.
The PCSA is a month-long commemoration of the establishment of the civil service in the Philippines on 19 September 1900.
It is also the anniversary of the whole civil service, and not just the CSC.
