Celebrating Life winning photos adorn SCB Calendar

The Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) on Wednesday announced the arrival of its yearly calendars featuring the top 12 photographs from The Daily Star-SCB Celebrating Life 2017 contest. The photographs have been included on each page of the 2018 calendar.

Celebrating Life has been one of the most promising initiatives to recognise the power of art, culture and diversity of Bangladesh. Within the theme of 'Celebrating Diversity in Bangladesh' participants were able to capture the aesthetics of life from every nook and cranny of the country last year.

“It is with that purpose in mind, Standard Chartered Bank and The Daily Star have come together to honour our talented photographers, filmmakers and songwriters through annual competition under the programme of Celebrating Life,” said Mahfuz Anam, editor and publisher of The Daily Star.

For the competitors, the best part of the contest was they were allowed absolute freedom to explore any subject matter of their choice within the theme. “Winning the first position of Celebrating Life Photography Contest was one of the biggest achievements of my life,” said Hasan Mahmud Prottoy, the winner of the photography contest.

The top 12 participants are requested to come to The Daily Star Centre and collect their gifts.
