It said the awarding ceremony was held in Seoul Wednesday, where Philippine Ambassador to South Korea Luis Cruz lauded Ybiosa for his creativity and excellence in photography. Cruz also encouraged the student to continue with his involvement in various Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) awareness programs. University of the Philippines student MM Yu was also awarded the honor of “Special Guest Artist" in recognition of her outstanding entries, the DFA said. The contest, which carries the theme “Cultural Diversity and Harmony," was divided in two categories, including video/multimedia and photography. More than 350 Asean and Korean university and graduate students participated in the event. Winning entries and other selected works will be displayed at the Seoul Art Space from September 23 to October 10.
