Photo Contest for Adopted Children from China

US-China News Media Foundation Press Release - “My School, My Home” Photo Contest for Adopted Children from China

The US-China News Media Foundation, the US-China Cultural Exchange Association and the Gladney Center for Adoption are jointly organizing the “My School, My Home” photo contest for adopted children. They hope to gain a realistic glimpse of the lives of adopted children through their own eyes. The winning photos will be featured in a book published in both China and United States.

The organizers require any eligible photo to accurately reflect aspects of the adoptee’s life such as education, family, and situations at school. For example, photos can reflect the adoptee’s impression of their adopted parent, teachers or friends, experiences growing up, or memorable people or events. Photos must be realistic depictions of actual events. Parents may submit on behalf of those adoptees too young to submit themselves.

According to contest rules, both digital photo files and actual photo prints from film are acceptable. Photos must be original with no limitation on style or color. An individual may submit up to a maximum of five photos. Digital photos must meet a minimum size requirement of 1MB and actual photo prints must measure 8” x 10” or 8” x 12”. Please write down your contact information on the back of each photo, and indicate on the envelope it is for the “My School, My Home Photo Contest”. The contest does not accept negatives and there is no fee to enter. The contest will run until June 15, 2009 and all entries must be postmarked on or before that day. Entries may be sent by email to: usmyhome@gmail.com or mailed to P.O. BOX 541518, FLUSHING, NY 11354. Attention US MY HOME.

Please direct your questions to Mr. Gongzhan Wu at usmyhome@gmail.com.
