They say, “A picture speaks a thousand words” and it is definitely true! The annual photo contest returns this year with three different categories – People, Food and Facilities. The photo contest encouraged our residents to share their love for Tampines through these categories. We have received hundreds of outstanding entries and it was a challenge for our three judges, Mark Teo (People Category Judge), Nicholas Zayden Tan (Food Category Judge) and Jeryl Tan (Facilities Category Judge) to shortlist the top few submissions!
Congratulations to all the winning entries and thank you to those who have participated. It was heart-warming to learn about what you love about Tampines and we couldn’t agree more!
