IF taking pictures of architecture and buildings is your calling, then look no further than the ‘My Ideal Homes’ photo contest.

Setting its theme on residential and commercial developments by Ideal Property Group, the contest is divided into two categories — Open and Special.

Group chief operating officer Goh Teng Whoo said the Open category is for the public while the Special category for Ideal staff and life members of Penang Press Club.

He said this was the first time they were working with the club in such a contest.

“Photographs of any development projects by Ideal Property Group can be used to take part in the contest,” he said at the company’s main office in Bayan Lepas.

Goh said those who wanted to snap photos of facilities in the group’s condominium buildings could follow their Facebook page.

“There will be an announcement on photography sessions available at the respective sites.

“Our Facebook page will provide the date, time and venue for such photo opportunities,” he said.

Penang Press Club chairman Teoh Boon Liang said the contest would enable photographers to explore and discover the housing projects by Ideal Property Group.

Also present were Ideal Group’s COO Simon Ong and public relations executive Lim Wah Kok as well as the press club’s deputy chairman Wong Soon Eng and assistant treasurer Ooi Chin Ghee.

The top three winners in each category will receive cash prizes of RM3,000, RM2,000 and RM1,000.

There are 10 consolation prizes of RM500 in each category. All the winners will also receive certificates.

There will also be a RM1,000 cash prize for the most popular photo on Facebook.

Ideal Property Group is a Penang-based developer with more than 10 residential and commercial projects to its name for the past 20 years.

Closing date for the contest is 5pm on Feb 28.
