The competition has started. Good Luck to all participants. Check out the LATEST ANNOUNCEMENTS On Competitions page for results on 24th June 2007.
FOR REGISTERED SATURDAY & SUNDAY PARTICIPANTS:
If you did not receive a request to change your day from our system, this means that your selected date has been accepted. Please proceed to come and register for signing in on the day that you have selected.
NOTE: Some of the email servers may have been blocking our communication (as SPAM) so please inform your friends who are may not be aware this.
Also, there are some participants who have raised several questions to the way the RULES have been changed. We are kindly replying every inquiry and we aim to meet the best of all concerned. Every measure that we are taking have been considered carefully.
As for those concerned about raining on Saturday and if this should happen, we would definitely look into it with all our compassion.
We have set up areas of convenience for participants. These include mobile toilets, drinking water, marshals, first aid etc. We treat this as a great event for all participants and every party involved, so please do not worry about these arrangements.
On "NOT" allowing photographers to turn up at any time they want, this is a private compound and accessible by permission. The RULES are decided in this manner as we need to coordinate quite a number of participants. SAFETY, SECURITY & EFFICIENCY for everyone is our priority.
Earlier Updates
Dear Registered Participants,
We have so far received more than 460 registrations, which is three times more than expected.
Due to this overwhelming response and after much discussion and consideration with all parties involved, we are now going to request all participants to choose either a Saturday or Sunday only.
As much as we can assure you and by allowing a split for the total number of participants to enter the compound per day, we are attempting to do this for the convenience and comfort of each participant. Otherwise or should we say, you will most likely get into each other's focal range.
We are well aware of the short time frame to inform you and we truly apologize for any inconvenience. To ensure that we are aware which day you would now like to select, we need all registered participants to follow these instructions carefully (as for those who are assisting friends who are not familiar with the online registration, kindly call, advice or assist them to do so):
You are now requested to choose either the Saturday OR Sunday for the photo shoot.
On a first come basis,we will limit to a maximum of 230 participants per day. This will be based on us receiving the ONLINE FORM below (which you will be using to register for your preferred day).
By selecting either one of the days would mean that you have to arrive between 7.30am and 8.30am to register your attendance.
During the registration period, we will be providing you with the PARTICIPANT ENTRY PASS, Site Map with activities stated, the rules that you have to follow while you are in the compound of the Planters Haven and the Photo Submission Forms. Participants can stay up till 8.00 pm on either night.
Flag-off time is scheduled at 9.00am on 9th June 2007 ONLY.
Updated Direction Map to the Planters' Haven is provided below.
