FOBISIA PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION CELEBRATES HAPPINESS ACROSS ASIA

Blue Leal Head of Creative Arts Faculty, Brighton College Bangkok

In February of this year, Brighton College International School of Bangkok hosted the annual FOBISIA photography competition with the theme of Happiness.

The competition celebrated participants from 30 different international schools across Asia, showcasing their talent and creativity in capturing moments of joy and happiness. With a total of 124 entries, the competition was divided into different Key Stages to allow for a fair and equal assessment of each participant's level of skill and experience. All entries can be viewed in the virtual exhibition here

The judges had a difficult task as the quality and variety of entries was exceptional. After careful consideration and review, the judges announced a third place, second place, and first-place winner for each key stage. Each winner was recognised for their artistic vision, technical skill and ability to convey the theme of happiness through their photographs.

This competition provided an opportunity for pupils to showcase not only their photographic skills but also to celebrate the joy in people's lives after the dark times of the Coronavirus. Through their lenses, they captured images that portrayed love, friendship, laughter, nature's beauty, and other aspects that make life worth living.

Congratulations to all participants, your talent has made many people smile. Here are the winning photographs.
