Towngas in snappy stamp of approval

Citizens have a chance to win cash prizes up to HK$3,000 by joining a photography contest organized by the Hong Kong and China Gas Company from now until May 6 with winning entries turned into exclusive special edition stamps.

Participants of the "Capturing Nature's Masterpieces: Wildlife Photography Contest" have to encapsulate the beauty of the natural world through their lenses.

The competition is divided into the adult group for ages 18 and above, and the youth, for teens 12 to 17, with separate categories: lives in the sea, on land, and in the air. Each category will award a first-place cash prize of HK$3,000, the second HK$2,000, the third HK$1,000 - and one Merit Prize with HK$500 cash.

Towngas will then match prize money with an equal donation to designated nonprofit organizations.

Winning entries will have works showcased at a public event mid-year and featured on stamps.

They will also bed invited to an all-inclusive wildlife photography master class held on August 15.
