First round of Southern African science lens announced
The first round of Southern African Lens, a photographic competition specifically aimed at illustrating and communicating the excitement and impact of science and technology in Southern Africa has been launched.
The competition, organised by SAASTA, is open to residents of South
Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Swaziland and Mozambique.
A category called "I See Science & Technology", is aimed at encouraging
learners in these countries to share their views on science.
This year, with South Africa hosting the World Cup Soccer in 2010, there
will be a special category for photographs that illustrate sport
science.
Canon SA is supporting the competition with the donation of a Canon
EOS1000D camera with 18-55mm lens kit for the overall winner; and two
cameras as prizes in the I See Science & Technology category.
Science Centres in Southern Africa will receive incentives to train
learners and enter their photographs in the competition.
The deadline for the competition is 14 September 2009.
