THE final judging for the "I Love Brunei Darussalam" nationwide competition will be held today at the Bandar Seri Begawan Waterfront Gallery.

Twenty finalists made it through to the final round for the photography competition, and five finalists for graphics. For painting, 10 finalists made it into the final judging round for the open category, while six have been selected for the 13 to 18-year-old category, and another six finalists for the under-12 category.

The photography category had the highest number of submissions throughout the entire competition, with 298 entries.

The painting competition drew in 108 paintings for three categories: participants under 12 years of age, between 13 and 18 years, and an open category.

Although there were 12 entries received for the video category, no finalists were selected during the internal judging process.

The competition which opened in January to Bruneians and residents until March 15, is organised by The Brunei Times in conjunction with this year's 28th National Day celebrations.

The judging panel will comprise ambassadors and high commissioners, as well as prominent individuals in Brunei's art arena.

Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Pekerma Lela Diraja Dato Seri Setia Hj Hazair Hj Abdullah, the guest of honour at today's event, will place the blue ribbons on winning entries for each of the three competitions.

An exhibition of finalists' entries and selected entries will be showcased at the Waterfront Gallery between now and May 27. The public can enter the gallery for free from today onwards starting at 4pm.

Thereafter, the opening times for the exhibition are on Saturdays to Thursdays from 9am to 4.30pm, and 9am to 11.30am, 2.30pm to 4.30pm on Fridays.

The aim of the five-category competition was to provide a platform for Bruneians and residents to put on their creative hats and express their patriotism and love for the nation. It also allowed participants to show their appreciation, commitment and pride to His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam and the country.

The five competitions were painting, essay writing, video, graphic design and photography. The final judging for the essay writing competition will be held soon.

Prizes will be given by Baiduri Bank, Royal Brunei, Setia Motors Sdn Bhd and AV Electronics Sdn Bhd. The Brunei Times

Rule of Thirds


The rule of thirds is a guideline which applies to the process of composing visual images such as paintings, photographs and design.  The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.

Composition (visual arts)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the visual arts – in particular painting, graphic design, photography and sculpture – composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art or a photograph, as distinct from the subject of a work. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art.
The term composition means 'putting together,' and can apply to any work of art, from music to writing to photography, that is arranged or put together using conscious thought. In the visual arts, composition is often used interchangeably with various terms such as design, form, visual ordering, or formal structure, depending on the context. In graphic design and desktop publishing, composition is commonly referred to as page layout.
