PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION

Overview

“The meaning of 1Malaysia varies across individuals. For Thayalan Nathan, beyond the cliché images, the spirit lives in many ways in our everyday interaction. This 40 year-old management consultant believes that promoting the 1Malaysia spirit through creative photography will surely provide individuals with the opportunity to showcase Malaysia’s uniqueness. The 1Malaysia National Photography Competition would not only provide a chance for the aspiring photographers to speak through their pictures, but also stir young creative minds to realize the aspirations for a united Malaysia.” - Dana 1 Belia Malaysia
