What is #OneDayintheph?

There’s only so much you can do in a day, but where more than seven thousand islands are concerned, the options are endless.

#OneDayinthePH is an online photo competition from GRID Magazine and Eastern Communications. Following the theme of GRID Vol. 09, participants are asked to submit their photos showing unique perspectives on: A) what makes a good day; and B) portraits of community.

Whether it's the places we've been to, the people we share it with, the little things getting us by, or the plans we're looking forward to, we aim to put together our community's collective vision of what One Day in the Philippines could be.

We'll then select our 50 favorite entries to receive a free copy of any GRID Volume of their choice.​​ ​​One lucky winner will also receive the complete magazine collection of GRID Vol. 01 to 09, and prizes from Eastern Communications.
