Masih-ul-Karim, managing director of Berger Paints Bangladesh Ltd., said "Social responsibility as well as corporate interest in nurturing the young talents worked as the driving force for us to continue this effort of patronising the young Zainul Abedins of the country for the last nine years." Professor Qayum Chowdhury, chairman of Berger Young Painters' Art Competition-2004 Jury Committee, congratulated the winners.
