Muscat: MCCP holds photography contest


News: Vijai Dcunha (G-Kere)

Muscat, Oct 17: Oman’s most popular Mangalorean Catholic Association known by MCCP (Mangalorean Catholic Centre of the Parish), organized a local photography contest recently. Talented professionals, amateurs and emerging artists actively participated in this contest. The eminent juries from the professional field have been assigned to select the best images, which touch on ideas and concepts surrounding the photographic portrait while exploring other avenues. A range of moods, settings, characters and expressions are all present.

Jessie Pereira, a vibrant community leader and the MCCP’s current president said, “Photography contests are a great way to find out if your images are up to scratch. By taking part in these competitions, you can exhibit your skillful talents.”



The venue came alive with enthusiasm when people irrespective of their age participated in this contest at Corniche Muttrah, which is a very popular tourist destination in Oman. The objective of the contest is to provide a platform for amateur photographers to showcase their skills and insight, their ability to recognize the natural beauty, compose and click them in a fraction of a minute.

This contest and its outcomes, we believe will help to create consciousness about the nature – The beauty that makes life what it is – says Jessie Pereira. Whether you are a professional photographer, a student, or an amateur hobbyist, photography contests provide the perfect platform to hone your skills and evolve your expression, she added.

The programme commenced at 8 am with a welcome note by Praveen Niddodi (cultural secretary). Vice-president, Terence D'Souza, briefed the participants about the rules of the contest. The participants then had to click photographs on the spot and submit them to the organizers. The photograph was to be clicked within an assigned area and no editing of photographs was permitted. Only digital cameras were allowed for this purpose. Only one entry was permitted per participant.

The results of the competition will be announced at a later date and the winners will be awarded the prizes during the next mega event on November 29.

The entire event meticulously planned and executed by the entire MCCP Executive Committee lead by Jessie Pereira as the president, Monica Fernandis (Vice President - Sports & Finance), Vinod Terence D’Souza (Vice President – Cultural, Spiritual & CS), Silvia Dias (General Secretary), Victoria Trecilla Menezes (Honorary Treasurer), Sharon Alva (Internal Auditor), Reshma D Costa (Sports Secretary), Praveen Donald Serra (Cultural Secretary), Vikas Marshal Fernandes (Spiritual Secretary) and Merita Pinto (Community Services Secretary).

Among the recent star events of MCCP, this event added yet another success to their kitty, which indeed encouraged innovation and aim to elevate new talent in photography among the community members.
