A photo of aged women was chosen from among the close to 200 entries in the Hulagway photo contest for the Araw ng Dabaw 2017.
“Kaway Nanay”, a photo by veteran photographer Jesus Tinapay, paid tribute to elderly Dabawenyos as they took the centerstage during the celebration held last March.
Tinapay braved the scorching heat during the Parada Dabawenyo last March 16 to be able to capture the moment.
The photo also perfectly captured the central theme of the celebration — Davao City’s journey the past 80 years.
Tinapay will receive a cash prize of P 15,000 for his winning photo.
Second prize winner is Climaco Cane’s entry “Dabawenya Beauties” while third prize winner is John Francis Angeles for his entry, “Lipay, Leap High Davao!”
Cane and Angeles will receive P 10,000 and P 5,000, respectively.
Mayor Inday Sara Duterte, meanwhile, chose the photo Malipayong Dabawenyo by photographer Jerson Flores. He will receive P 3,000 cash for the special prize.
Aside from the three top winners, 17 runners-up were also named, each receiving a cash prize of P 1,500.
Photographers and enthusiasts who joined the contest had to showcase the beauty and grandeur of the 80th Araw ng Davao celebration. The three judges chose the top three best photos based on composition (30 percent), creativity (30 percent), originality (30 percent) and relevance to the theme (10 percent).
The winners will be officially notified through text and/or email as to when and how to claim their prizes. CIO
