Urgent call for laowai in China photos...

My journalist friends at Southern Weekly (a famous Chinese newspaper known for pushing the censorship envelope of journalism) are busy doing their final weekly edition prior to Spring Festival. They've asked me to help recruit foreigners living in China to submit interesting photos for their Spring Festival edition. The criteria is pretty open:

1. Photos taken of everyday life in China (not travel photos but photos laowai in China have taken..) and should have an interesting story attached to them.

2. Photos need not look 'artistic' or 'professional'. They'll even accept photos that were shot from mobile phones (yuck!).

3. Needless to say, no nudes or disgusting material wanted!

Of course, if your photo is printed in their Spring Festival edition, you will be paid. No amount was given but I know for a fact that in their regular weekly editions they pay 100RMB per published photo so most probably they would be paying more than that...plus you get bragging rights!

You can email maskofchina(at)gmail.com to submit and I'll forward it to the fine folks at Southern Weekly.
