The Wait Is Over!

January 15, 2022

Finally, after months of waiting, the winners of the 2021 Photo Competition are out! Who would have known that this contest will be successful? It started with a simple idea, a smooth plan, and open communication. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Philippines, Artdesign decided to have the theme, “Beautify Your Walls with Natures of the Philippines”. Why not? Contrary to what many think about the country, the Philippines is rich in natural resources and tourist destinations. 

The participants

It is at many surprises that a total of 385 original photos have been submitted from all parts of the country. All entries feature the wonders of nature that are seen in the different parts of the Philippines. From different landscapes and seascapes to the majestic sunset view, you will surely be amazed at how these photos were taken at the right moment.  

The selection process

We know that the photo entries submitted were given much thought and effort. From the 385 participants, the top 20 photos were chosen based on the total online votes that they garnered. The top three photos of nature were carefully and meticulously chosen by the jury from Artdesign who have keen eyes and taste when it comes to art. The final selection process was not easy. All entries are remarkable and truly fit the goal of Artdesign in giving WOW to the walls of every Filipino home.
