Bangladesh Press Photo Contest 2024 Exhibition . . .

Congratulations to all the winners and participants of the Bangladesh Press Photo Contest 2024 organized by Drik.

It’s important to appreciate the power of a single image in the world of press media and publication. As a pressman, I want to say that a single picture is a strong matter.

The exhibition opening day at Drik sounds like an exciting event to look forward to. I’m sure it will be a fantastic experience for all involved. Hope to see you all . . .

Cyclone Rimal has started to affect in the Dhaka city since this morning. It is torrential rain with stormy wind, water has accumulated somewhere on the streets. I put on a raincoat and went out on my motorcycle and to go to Drik for Bangladesh Press Photo Contest 2024 judging. I reached Drik on time. Other judges arrived, after a while our judging is started.

Here is my short observation about this Press Photo Contest as a judge: Photojournalists of Bangladesh participated in this Press Photo contest as they proved once again how powerful a single image is ! Which surpasses other branches of Press Media.

Its importance can be understood by looking at the award-winning pictures and the displayed pictures. Because they give new ideas to photojournalists, photo editors and newspaper editors and readers as well as those who involved in the news media industry.

Once again thanks to Drik and all the judges, the organizing team of Bangladesh Press Photo Contest 2024.
