Like previous contest pjclub Nepal has organised "Mega Bank Photo Competiton & Exhibiton 068 ". It is one of most popular photo competition with grand prize up to 1,50,000 . There are 5 categories included :
Categories
Daily life
Daily Life Photography captures memories and tells stories
that make meaningful portraits and works of art. This is the category that
includes images about the daily life of people reflecting contemporary issues.
Wildlife and nature
The images related to wildlife: flora and fauna. And the
species that are in danger of extinction. The images of living plants and
animals, geological processes, weather conditions, water, wild animals, rocks,
forest and beaches, and all kind of "natural environment" that have
not been substantially altered by humans, or which persist despite human
intervention.
Tourism photo
Most people are attracted by a photograph that appeals to
them. Such places are usually idealized, and reduced to a few widely recognized
signifiers, such as Fish tail, Mt. Everest, Lumbini, Pokhara, Manang etc are
few examples among many. We intend to promoteNepal as a tourism destination
while also promoting it as a photo destination.
News
These photographs are mainly used in media to disseminate
news. Photography has gained an undeniable importance for it enhances the
impact of the news on people. (News can be of any events including sports,
business, politics etc.) News has two priorities: it must be current, and it
must mean something to people. Photographs for this particular category must
have been taken during 2068 B.S. not necessarily to be published in any
newspaper.
Photo story
Photography has been a witness to life in moments of joy and
drama. This category recognizes the effort of those photographers that provides
a window to the otherwise invisible events outside the reach of the
"civilized" world. The photographs in series expose the crude
realities and tragedies of anything: it may be the story of neediest and
malnutrition, their unsafe living conditions, lack of educational
opportunities, and much more.
