KMRL launches photography competition

Kochi: Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL) has launched yet another edition of photography competition while the agency is yet to distribute the prize money for the competition conducted in 2018. Despite the winners approaching the KMRL authorities several times, they didn’t distribute the cash prize.

It was as part of its efforts to prepare a coffee table book, ‘Kochi Metro 365’, that the photography competition was held in 2018. The jury comprising eminent personalities like Santhosh Sivan, Suresh Eriyat, Riyas Komu and Anil Kumar had handpicked the winners. The first prize announced by the Metro authorities was Rs 50,000.

The theme for the photography competition in 2021 is ‘my metro rail’. There are separate categories for the general category and Metro staff. The first prize for the winners in the general category will be Rs 35,000 while it will be Rs 25,000 for the Metro staff. tnn
