The National Association of Photographers – Sri Lanka (NAPSL) has
organized the first ever local digital projection image photographic
competition in Sri Lanka. NAPSL has formerly organized the first ever
digital projection international photographic competition in Sri Lanka
for their 30th anniversary. This year they have extended it to the Sri
Lankan amateur photographers too.
Generally entries for the photographic competitions have to be
submitted in prints. However following the introduction of digital
photography most countries have taken to digital projection image
competitions and in Sri Lanka the NAPSL pioneered the system. It saves
time and money for the entrants and most competition entries can also be
sent online saving the postage fees.
This year’s NAPSL annual island-wide photography contest was held in
digital image projection system and veteran photographers Dee Ga
Somapala, Henry Rajakaruna and Priyantha Amarasinghe served in the panel
of judges. Out of the several hundreds of images received 150
photographs have been selected for the exhibition.
NAPSL has arranged to open the exhibition for public at the BMICH
from November 4 to 6. Image Today is the largest Photo, Video and
Digital Imaging international exhibition in Sri Lanka organized
annually. Selected images for the display have been printed on Kodak
high quality printing papers by Lakdam Digital Color Lab using state of
the art Noritsu HD digital photo printers.a
