From the over 100
entries, 25 were picked as finalists for the “Musings On Women” photography contest.
Over a hundred artists
from all over the country held a selling exhibit featuring paintings that
depict the roles of women in society Tuesday.
"Musings
on Women," a project of Zonta Club of Cebu II, is intended to pay homage
to women from all walks of life. The exhibit features works of Cebuano
photographers and artists showcasing women in the various roles that they play
in society.
"From
over a hundred entries, we have narrowed them to twenty five. It was a tough
and difficult selection process by the Screening Committee. I am awed at how
talented our photo enthusiasts are and we hope that through pictures, we can
send a strong message on how essential the roles of women in society are and
how equality among gender can enhance community building," said Archt.
Filna Espina, Chairperson of the Musings on Women Photo Competition.

passion”, "Pot of Gold", "Guitana, Student Athlete",
