ABOUT CONTEST

Make A Difference (MAD) is pleased to announce 2013 Online Photography Contest. This competition is to recognize the work of outstanding photographers and also to create awareness about Make A Difference’s initiatives. We also felt the importance of preserving fauna as well as philanthrophy. Hence the competition is initiated during wildlife week (Oct 2 – Oct 8) and Joy of Giving week (Oct 2 – Oct 8) . The competition is open to all photographers of Indian Nationality.

The winners stand a chance to win a total cash prize of INR 10,000/- (INR 5,000 to one winner for each category).
