“Mad About Singapore” – an Instagramers Singapore exhibition

.

Mad about Singapore - Instagram ChallengeAs Singapore celebrates its 49th birthday, Instagramers Singapore (@InstaSG) prepares for an Instagram exhibition with a theme “Mad About Singapore”. The Open Call invites the submission for the exhibition, through the hashtag #MadAboutSingapore – asking Instagramers to describe Singapore with a picture.

.

“If a picture says a thousand words about Singapore, do you have that picture?” Be it a picture of a truly madly Singaporean character, or a picture of a totally Singaporean food, or perhaps a building or scene that can say “this is Singapore!” – the idea is to express the identity of this young nation through Instagram. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the tag, and as the number of tagged pictures keep increasing (it has more than 6,300 picture to date), we can start seeing interesting perspectives of Singapore.

About 100 pictures from the tag #MadAboutSingapore will be printed for the exhibition at ION Orchard (@ION_Orchard), a top luxury shopping mall on Orchard Road, the prime site of Singapore’s commercial and shopping artery. As ION Orchard is committed to arts, it is a great privilege to have Instagramers’ work hosted here, joining other international and local exhibitions and displays of arts, design and new media.

.

Nikon Singapore is also supporting this exhibition, by providing a Nikon DSLR D5300 kit worth S$ 1,279 for the best picture at the exhibition. This lightweight DX DSLR boasts 24.2 megapixels, 39-point autofocus, a vari-angle LCD monitor and built-in Wi-Fi® that suits mobility and social media lifestyle of Instagramers. Nikon Singapore itself has been a continuous supporter of Instagramers Singapore.

Mad about Singapore - instagram contestFor the exhibition, Instagramers Singapore is partnering with M.A.D. School (@MADschoolEduSG), an education arm wholly owned by Chatsworth Medi@rt Academy (CMA).

.

CMA is an established institute (since 2003) that delivers industrial-integrated program in Marketing, Advertising and Design – it’s Asia’s first integrated diploma that offers all three disciplines in one. M.A.D. School will be printing the works of Instagramers and setup the exhibition, which will be held at the end of September.

.

Websta (@Websta_me) has also joined as the digital media partner, providing all the needed support on the technology side. With the support of Singapore’s Best Shopping Mall, a leader in photography community, an expert madly-about-design team and a team of Instagram geeks – this surely sounds like a recipe for a big milestone of Instagramers in Singapore.

If you happen to be in Singapore in late September (perhaps you will be there for the Formula 1 night race?), make sure to visit the exhibition at ION Orchard. There will also be few activities such as photography talks and photowalks. Meanwhile, here are few selected works from #MadAboutSingapore for you to get to know Singapore better. If you have a picture that says “this is Singapore!” – feel free to tag, and we might see our picture in the exhibition too!
