Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Who can take part in the NUSPS Montage 2019 Competition?

    Anyone who has registered through https://2019.montage.sg and submitted their photos via their Instagram accounts using the respective hashtags will be considered for NUSPS’ Montage 2019 Competition.

    Open Category (#MadeInSGOpen): from ages 13 and above as of 2019
    Youth Category (#MadeInSGYouth): from ages 13 to 25 as of 2019

    Participants are allowed to submit different photographs to qualify for both categories. However, the same photo submission cannot be used to enter two categories (i.e. Do not use both hashtags in one submission). Such entries will be counted towards the Youth Category by default. Each photograph can only be tagged with one category.

    There is no limit to the number of submissions for each participant, as long as they use the appropriate hashtags correctly and fulfill all competition requirements.

  2. What is the scoring criteria for the Montage 2019 Competition?

    Judging will be based on the photo’s and caption’s alignment to the theme of Our National Identity, technical proficiency and creativity. Bonus points will be awarded for attending any of our 3 workshops. Please remember to register as well on our website!
