Last September 8-11, 2009, the Ateneo Environmental Science Society hosted its annual photo contest and exhibit, entitled Earth Visions: Signos. The 5-day exhibit was located on the 2nd floor of the Matteo Ricci Study Hall.
This year’s theme, Signos, revolved around capturing the signs or indicators of climate change and the preventive measures society is taking against it. In line with the theme and the purposes of the organization, the Earth Visions exhibit used recyclable materials such as wooden crates, newspapers and scratch papers as part of the exhibit set-up.
To determine the winners of the photo contest, 65% of the criteria for judging came from, ESS alumni, BS ES and AB-ID major, Mr. Earl Diaz and the remaining 35% from the Ateneo student body. Ateneans were highly encouraged to vote, since a secret prize also awaited one lucky voter, for the photos they think best captured the theme of climate change. With that, the exhibit garnered a positive total of 245 votes from the student body with Joy Oropeo (2 BS MAC) as the chosen lucky voter who won a P200 gift certificate from Starbucks coffee.
The awarding ceremony was held during the last day of the exhibit, September 11, at SOM106. Out the thirty-three submitted entries, only two were chosen as winners. Christopher Burce (I-BS MIS) brought home the first prize of a split camera lomo for his photo “Tripower Unleashed” capturing a tornado amidst the radiant sun while Christian Ang (II-BS COMTECH) bagged the second prize of a mini holga for his photo, “The X-Files” illustrating the effects of erratic weather to society.
With such results, the photos displayed in this year’s Earth Visions photo exhibit will [tentatively] also be featured and endorsed by organizations such as the Ateneo School of Government, HARIBON and PHIYEN in their respective projects catering to the immediacy of Climate change. With the hopes of pushing forth awareness and initiative, let us hope that the photos will open society’s eyes and have a second look at alarming signs amidst them.
