Winners of the District Cyber Centres Alliance (DCCA) organised digital photography competition will be recognised at an appreciation ceremony in March, to be followed by an exhibition of the winning works from April to June.

Themed "Digital Life, Inclusion Community", the competition, which ran from December 1, 2010 to February 1, 2011, was designed to encourage District Cyber Centre members' interest in digital photography.  During the two-month period, participants were able to attend several digital photography seminars and field trips in order to gain a further understanding of digital photography.

Three winners: the champion, first runner-up and second runner-up as well as three awards of merit were awarded to the three participant categories which included youngsters (aged 18 and below), adults (aged between 19-50) and seniors (aged 51 and above).

The contest is a thematic Community Campaign of the DCCA's Cyber Community Award Scheme this year.  The scheme aims to encourage lifelong education and application of ICT skills to promote mutual help in ICT literacy within the community.  Affiliated DCCA centres can structure different DCCA accredited curriculum and awards to qualified learners based on the number of accumulative learning hours and performance.  These programmes provide the ICT illiterate community with continuous learning opportunities.  In support of this goal, DCCA will also provide a HK$52,000 start-up fund to each participating centre to support their related preparation work within their first year of joining the scheme.

The DCCA is an initiative formed by Cyberport, the Internet Professional Association and the Information Technology Resource Centre of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service.  The Alliance was launched two years ago to bridge the digital divide by making accessible information and communication technology, internet services, IT training and technical support to disadvantaged members of the community.
