PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST RESULTS

Have you ever been in a sunflower garden? Or in the midst of primary school tiny tots or in a photo gallery of beautiful pictures of Swami? Now, if we ask you to pick one sunflower which is outstanding or one kid who is extraordinary or one picture which is breathtaking, you are not going to have it easy, right? Because each sunflower is so alluring, every child is so adorable, and every picture of Swami is so bewitching. So you are going to take a while to do this task. Same was our predicament when we received the entries for the Radio Sai Photography Competition – 2015.

However, reluctantly we had to do the judging as we had promised. Here is what our panel of judges gave us.

We sincerely thank each participant for their beautiful entries. And are grateful to Swami for bestowing on all participants such noble thoughts and ideas.
