Shanker Art Foundation organizes a photography contest ‘Bharat ke Rang (Shades of India)’ every year with the sole purpose of providing an opportunity for both experienced and emerging photographers from India to communicate and contribute to a prosperous image-making culture of the country. Also at the same time nurturing the talent and creating a platform for photographers to share a thought-provoking story through their clicks, which have the power to influence and stimulate the minds.
It’s a theme-based contest and opens for four broad categories including Students, Women, Working People, and Senior Citizens. It is organized every year in six phases, and the exhibition is held annually post the selection of the winners.
The contest is judged by a jury comprising of professional photographers. The members of the panel change every year and are led by a chairperson and supported by two photographers who implement the judging procedures. The jury, chairperson, and photographers are independent of the Shanker Art Foundation. Selected photographs are judged regarding concept and creativity.
The winners are awarded mementos and certificates, and the annual photography exhibition is organized to showcase the works of the winners. Besides this, Shanker Art Foundation takes care of the social media presence of the winners.
