Hmmm… That’s great huh! Fellow GIMPists, GIMPers, GIMP Artists and everyone using GIMP. This can be a wonderful opportunity for you guys and the GIMP Community form all over the world.
I received the news via http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gimpi/ YAHOO! Groups. Ms. Rebecca Tan, the Area Education Executive of GSA Pte Ltd posted a topic GIMP Graphics Competition. If you haven’t subscribed to that group, the below letter came from her seeking advise, support, recommendations, suggestions, & what have you on how to make things happen for the GIMP Graphics Competition. Please feel free to read the letter below.
To whom it may concern,
I am Rebecca, Area Education Executive from Global Software Academy Pte Ltd.
I would like to seek advise or recommendation to push forth the GIMP Graphics Competition in Singapore as a National Competition, if possible as a World-wide International Competition. This initiative will be greatly appreciated by our company if we have support from the GIMP community as a co-host to this competition.
GSA has been using open source software in our training services to promote our pedagogy of continuous learning (Open Education)in our local schools. We hope that this competition will encourage more young learners in using open source software in their schools and hopefully in their future professions. We believe such a competition will help in nurturing young learners to be more inclined with multimedia designing skills and thus giving them an opportunity to be recognised at a national level or international level.
I hope to receive some feedbacks upon this interest to establish this GIMP Graphics Competition. In any case, the GIMP community would like to further discuss on the details, please email me at 
. Thank you.
Regards,
Rebecca Tan

The http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gimpi/ Yahoo Group is age restricted. Not a bad thing but something that people should now before clicking on the link while at work. I’ll check it out tonight at home.
