Call for Entries

In Phnom Penh alone, around 10 million plastic bags are used on a daily basic. From food vendors to clothing retails, most items we are consuming are wrapped, packaged or served using plastic. In a place where plastics are so embedded in people’s lives, how can we switch consumer behavior to reduce such consumption?

KAS Cambodia, in partnership with Smart Axiata Cambodia would like to annouce the Open Call for Entries for the KAS-POP photo competition. We would like to invite public espcially youths in Cambodia to join the competition. 

We believe everyone has their own way of contributing to a cleaner and better environment in which they are living. Therefore, we want to ask “What are you doing every day to avoid plastic use?” to all the young Cambodian out there because it is important that their actions and creativity in helping to save our environment are known and shared to others so that inspiration can happen and more actions could be taken for our environment.

With this theme, we aim at collecting photos that speak about actions and creativities in living every day with more care to our environment specifically, with less plastic consumption.

Not only does this contest aim to raise awareness for environmental protection, but it also intends to inspire people especially young Cambodians to start to consider small habitual changes and then take action that would ultimately create significant impact for the environment.
