Think the theme" magic of light' is very general and could be viewed as an open theme.

Photography is all about painting with light. :P

[tmc17479]

Neither a student nor an alumni or staff. How to enter?

[sequitur]

uh
NSF + future NUS student can take part or not.. ?

[jiaqi]

then what about NSF + future NTU student? hahaha.

wah lau. this is so sad...NSFs are left out of everything. haha.

[+Q+]

Dun think public can enter leh...
And NSF= Public rite?

Well, still can go for seminar,
a strong line-up of speakers to boost that....
rite?

[sequitur]

NSF can be = public

but NSF can be equals after JC before Uni

so a JC student = student and a Uni student = student
and NSF = public... ?

[+Q+]

Sequitur Make sense....
but how?

hey, Tmc
u NUS grad? Heard NUS grad=automatic alumni...

[sathea]

nsf is not studying, so cannot be a student.
a student is learner enrolled in an educational institution.

[enghong17]

as long as you produce graduation scroll............clause #??..........

to mervlam, theme != (not equals) categories of entry nor contributing factor for selection.............theme is there to represent our motivation for that year........

ps jiaqi, 2 yrs ago, i was informed i won a prize in a competition by another uni in the tiertary students category even though i was in NS.........got disqualified cos they said proof of entry not considered i am student..........but i will discuss with the com again on this loophole........hopefully can convince them that proof of acceptance means students or future students at that..........=> future NTU students also no problem.............we welcome ALL students..........=>

which can be shared by all as works of art and genius. The general theme aims
to encourage creativity, allowing the participants great freedom in the
