“Trees For Life” Photography Competition
Photography Competition 2014 :
Trees form the backbone of our City in a Garden. Lining roads and offering shade in parks and gardens, they also soften and beautify our cityscape.
This competition is only open to students from preschool to tertiary level.
They make our lives more pleasant by helping us feel more connected to nature. As providers of food, oxygen and shelter, trees also give life to other living things which depend on them for survival.
