Click a Smile and Share with the World

When corporate houses work towards its corporate social responsibility, it means that the organisation wants to make the Society a better place, where it operates, and when social organisations promote the aestheticism, it means that they want to make the World a better place where we live.
Bangalore-based NGO, Akshaya Patra is leading on the path of acknowledging talents of those artists, who capture every moment in a frame which dramatically narrates the whole story to the viewer. Akshaya Patra’s Annual Photography Competition, ‘Click a Smile’ is an international platform for all the pro photographers along with those who are in the learning phase.
The interested enthusiasts may upload up to three 4 MB photographs with a minimum resolution of 800 pixels, with one more jewel added to them, i.e. a smiling child or children, before December 22, 2015. Giving caption and description to the photograph, is a must, while uploading the same, as they will define the emotion behind the representation.
