The year 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Macao Special Administrative Region. Since Macao’s return to the motherland, there have been many positive changes and achievements in the city’s skylines and people’s daily life. Macao Photo Book aims to chronicle Macao people’s precious moments over the past two decades.

Submitted works must be closely related to the people, events or architecture of Macao since the city’s return to China. By capturing the changes in the cityscape and people’s lives over the past two decades, they should underscore Macao’s diverse precious moments.

Submitted works should be in digital format (35mm-film photos can be turned into digital files by scanning). The photos should be in JPEG format and at least three megapixels. Either colour or black-and-white photos are acceptable, but the file size of each uploaded photo should not exceed 3MB.

1. Remarks:
2. *Submitted works must be the own work of the entrant.
3. *Composite photos or photos that have been edited by computer software will not be accepted.

Anyone with valid Macao ID documents is eligible to submit entries except for staff members of GCS.
