“ABCS” is a photographic dictionary which strives to spread the culture, the natural environment and identity of Baja California Sur. It contains our everyday words, for example playa, chinolear, maleconear or ¡puchi! ABCS invites photographers to choose one or several of the 900 words which exist in “ABCS” and illustrate them with photos which you have taken.
Anyone from Baja California Sur, México, may participate, including individuals who are not currently residing in the State.
The photo(s) should describe or represent the State of Baja California Sur, its people and activities in everyday context, included in the list of regional vocabulary.
Photos will be accepted only via Web submission in .jpg format from 3 to 10 megabytes, color or black and white. Submissions must not have been previously published. In case of printed photos, they should be scanned following the aforementioned characteristics. Submitted photos may not include any signatures, seals or other form of digital marking. Studio photos will not be eligible or considered by the Selection Committee, nor will photos which have previously won other photo competitions.
Each participant may upload a maximum of two photos per vocabulary term; the number of terms for which one can contribute, is unlimited. Upon close of the submission period, the photos will be selected for publication in the book ABCS, Diccionario Fotográfico de Sudcalifornia.
Hurry! You have only until May 14th to enter your photos!
