Where does Asia end? (UPDATE 01 SEP 2009)
The Question we had a few times now: Is New Zealand in, is Dubai in.. is Saudi Arabia or Turkey in?
Here is a map from Asia, where your entry should be from. Please follow this updated link below from “Wikipedia”. (See full list of countries within Asia below)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia#Physical_geography
Be aware that i updated this link on the 1st of September 2009, as i posted by mistake an old, uncomplete political map from Asia.
“Wikipedia” shows all countries, country flags and country names now. (Political & Physical Geography) I hope that helps to put things straight and I like to apologize for any confusion i caused with the old data and reply posted.
Unfortunately New Zealand is still not in ;-), that would be Asia & Pacific, but Dubai and Saudi Arabia?? Absolutely!!

Hi. I am an Indonesian and I took shots when I traveled in Bali, but I live in New Zealand, currently holding NZ passport. Will I be eligible to enter this competition?

HI Arfi, You can enter as a citizen from any country in the world, only the images you enter must be taken in Asia. Bali is within Asia so you can enter no problem.

Isn’t Turkey considered part of Asia too?

What about Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan? If Central Asia does not count as Asia, what is it? Still the Soviet Union? Or the Middle East - but then what about Saudi Arabia being counted as Asia?
Surely, you should amend this list.

I verified my earlier findings and looked up the border definition of Asia again; this time in Wikipedia. In my earlier post i made a mistake and showed an older incomplete map.
This post is updated now, so please refer to this link here and above.
