National Bookstore's “Take A Shot At Reading” Photo Contest Winner

By Raneil Antonio Ibay

Framed Shots Camera Club's Carlo Zamora takes home the grand prize in National Bookstore's “Take A Shot At Reading” Photo Contest.

The club's 2006 Rookie of the Year awardee and this year's Contest Committee Chairman submitted a photo depicting the joys of reading in a place where books are a rarity.

It shows 3 boys enjoying the book “The Ant and the Grasshopper” given by Carlo in Guilingan, Rizal, Palawan during one of his family's out-of-town trips.

The competition invited Filipinos of all ages to express their love for books through a creative photo portraying how a book has changed their lives for the better. It also aims to promote the value of reading and literacy.




Carlo's entry shows that reading is fun for the kids and clearly deserves the grand prize.
