Three weeks ago we launched the I Love South Cotabato Photo Contest 2013 in line with South Cotabato's T'nalak Festival 2013 celebration. We would like to thank all those who have submitted their entries and have participated especially those who exerted efforts in sharing their entries in social media, asking their friends and relatives to LIKE and SHARE their entries.
Once again our aim of promoting South Cotabato to the world through social media was achieved.
We received around 110 entries from photographers from all over the region and 97 entries met our entry rules. We asked everyone to LIKE & SHARE their favorite entries at our Facebook Page and instead of the top 20 entries with the highest votes as earlier published, our winners were chosen from the top thirty (30) popular entries.
Here now are the winners of the I Love South Cotabato Photo Contest 2013.
