National Geographic Channel and Canon announce winners of Explore To Inspire Photo Contest

A few months ago, National Geographic Channel and Canon launched an Asia wide Explore To Inspire Photo Contest and after more than 16,200 entries received for the Explore To Inspire Photo Contest, Kazi Riasat Alve (from Bangladesh) has been announced as the winner.

First prize – “Playing in the muddy field” by Kazi Riasat Alve (Bangladesh)

Held in celebration of National
Geographic’s 125th anniversary, the two-month-long contest in late 2013
was open to all aspiring young photographers, aged 18 and above,
residing in 13 countries – Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka,
Thailand or Vietnam.

First prizewinner, Kazi Riasat Alve
(Bangladesh) won judges over with an inspiring perspective of a young
boy lying on his back in a muddy field, lifting one’s spirit with the
quiet calm confidence of a smile, against all odds. Taken with a Canon
EOS Kiss X3 and Canon 18-55mm, f/3.5-5.6 lens, Kazi captured the winning
shot at Dhaka, in a school field where underprivileged children plays
after school.
