HIPA Announces Ramadan Photography Winners
TEHRAN (IQNA) – The winners of the Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award (HIPA) for June were announced on Tuesday, July 4, in the UAE.
The competition focuses on a different theme each month with June's focus being on the Holy Month of Ramadan.
The Secretary General of HIPA Ali bin Thalith said: "The
Holy month of Ramadan is a special time of year for people from all
faiths and backgrounds. Not only do Muslims take part in fasting between
sunrise and sunset but they also partake in extra acts of spiritual
worship which many photographers documented through the lenses of their
cameras. This colourful time of year was masterfully captured by the
entrants in this month’s Instagram Photo Contest, which contained some
brilliant photography. We congratulate all our winners and encourage
photographers to take part in future editions of the contest in the
coming months.”
June's four winners hailed from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
