2 Bangladeshis win TI photography awards
Two Bangladeshi photographers for the second time have won the global photography competition hosted by Transparency International, said a press release by Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB).
AM Ahad, a photojournalist of international news agency Associated Press (AP), won the first prize of the competition titled “Capture Corruption” beating 1,500 photographs submitted by participants from around the world. This year, Ahad's winning photograph depicted the risky condition children are working at a plastic recycling factory in Dhaka.
Last year, Ahad became the runner-up in the same competition
Sony Ramany, a photojournalist of the English daily New Age, who won the first prize last year, received runner-up award this year for a photo which showed children attending classes under the open sky as their school was grabbed by a local political leader.
The constant success of these two Bangladeshi photographers is a matter of pride for the country's youth, said Iftekharuzzaman, TIB executive director.
