The photography contest is titled, "Bangladesh - My Love," which invites photographs taken anywhere in Bangladesh except Dhaka. The photographs should bring to light a positive image of Bangladesh, based on any specific district or region.

 

Size of the entries can be either 16" x 20" or 12" x 16". In print advertisements, we had mentioned "as many entries as possible," but now we have received so many entries that we have restrict the maximum number of entries per person. Please do not send more than three photographs. We prefer printed submissions, but are also allowing submissions in CDs; but in that case please note that, if your work has been selected, you will have to eventually print the selected pictures at your own expense. Its better to submit printed copies.

 

A jury board composed of nine eminent personalities/experts in the field will judge the submissions, amongst which ten winners will be selected who will receive certificates, crests and cash prizes. The winner will receive a cash prize of Tk. 25,000, the 1st runner's up entry will receive Tk. 20,000 and the 2nd runner's up entry will receive Tk. 15,000. The rest of the ten winners, 4th to 10th, will receive Tk. 5000 each.

 

The prize-winning photographs will be featured in a district level festival all around Bangladesh. The top three winners of the photography competition will have an opportunity to work with The Daily Star as apprentices.
