＂波士顿国际摄影大赛＂由波士顿国际传媒咨询公司主办，波士顿华人摄影协会协办。本次大赛以波士顿为主题，旨在捕捉波士顿的美丽瞬间，摄影题材不限。查尔斯河畔甜蜜细语的情侣，闹市中熙攘往来的人群，机场里聚散离合的别情，海岸线上月升日落的浪漫，皆可成为摄影的主体与素材。 
The "Boston International Photography Competition" is organized by the Boston international media consulting, Inc. and co-organized by the Boston Chinese Photography Association. The theme of this competition is Boston, aiming to capture the beautiful moments of Boston. There is no specific requirement for the content of the photos as long as they highlight the beauty of Boston. Here are some ideas you can use as references:  a) a picture of a couple sightseeing on the Charles River; b) a picture of the busy downtown; c) a picture of people reuniting and saying goodbyes at the airports. We are sure that there are many more subjects that await your discovery.
