Odommo Chattagram
Adrian Poran's prize withdrawn
The Daily Star has withdrawn the 1st prize awarded to Adrian Poran along with the prize money given in "Chitromoy Chottola," a photography contest held in Chittagong on April 6 as part of the daily's "Odommo Chattagram" festival.
The prize has been withdrawn as Poran had actually submitted someone else's photograph in the competition as his own. In a letter to the photo contest organisers yesterday, Adrian Poran confessed to the misdeed and apologised for the act.
Yeow-Kwang Yeo, a Singaporean photographer, who was previously positioned second in the competition for his photo titled “Patenga Beach, Chittagong”, has been declared the new 1st prize winner.
Hasan Murad, who was adjudged third for his photograph titled “Her Old Hearth”, has been declared second while ANM Zia who earlier bagged the first honourable mention with his image titled, “Encaged in the Iron Frames”, is the new third prize winner.
