Melaka Bird Photography Contest

There is a Water Bird Photography Contest at Batu Berendam in Melaka, running from 7th October to 7th November 2022. The news of this bird photo contest was only shared with me through my regular WBCM WhatsApp channel on 2nd November.

Well, now that I know, I’m sharing this information with anyone interested in participating. You can head to Hotel 906 Premier in Batu Berendam, register there, and get more information about this bird photography contest.

Again, this contest is taking place at Batu Berendam in Melaka and in front of Hotel 906 Premier. According to the hotel, 16 species of waterbirds have been spotted in front of the hotel.

For anyone planning to stay at Hotel 906 Premier, a special room promotional price will be available throughout the bird photography contest period. Just inform the hotel reception about this.

The subjects are water birds, and for more information, please see the official poster below. I have translated the information into English to benefit the English reading visitors. The rules and regulations are below;

However, there has been no or not much media publicity for this event, and I found that the only outlet this news was shared was on Facebook in Malay through the Tourism Melaka and Hotel 906 Premier page.
