APEC managed to designate four themes for the contest which will serve as guides to what the photo entries should be about.  The four themes are as follows:

  • Trade and investment liberalization;
  • Regional economic integration;
  • Strengthening food security; and
  • Intensive cooperation to foster innovative growth.

All of the mentioned themes reveal the major priorities of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation for the year 2012.  The participating contestants are asked to submit their entries until August 1.  A contestant can submit up to four original entries.

For those interested to participate in the photo contest, you may submit an application together with your entries to contest@apec.org.
