The General Secretariat of the Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award announced the winners of the Instagram competition for the months of August and September 2021, where the theme of the August competition was “engineering”, and the September competition was entitled “Between the Past and the Present”.
The August edition of the competition revealed the excellence of Arab creativity in engineering photography through the Saudi photographer, Munir Muhammad Al Hammad, the Egyptian Ahmed Abdel Hamid Shaaban, and the Palestinian Hassan Thabet Sadiq, along with the photographer Shejith Onden Sheriath from India, and the photographer Muhammad Akib Amjad from Bangladesh.
The September edition of the competition announced remarkable Egyptian supremacy, led by the photographer Ahmed Abdel Hamid Shaaban, the winner of the two competitions, respectively, alongside his fellow Egyptian photographer Khaled Suleiman.
The list of winners also celebrated Australian photographer Carol Mills Noronha, Turkish photographer Erdal Turkoglu, and Ukrainian photographer Evin Samoshenko.
The winners will receive the award’s appreciation medal, and their photos and names will be published on the award’s official account on Instagram, HIPAae. The August competition witnessed the use of the hashtag #HIPAContest_Geometry, while the hashtag #HIPAContest_ThenandNow was used for the September competition.
The Secretary-General of the award, Ali Khalifa bin Thalith, said: “Engineering photography is a special kind of art that does not wait for the right moment, but rather creates it manually, designing its frames, and then producing exquisite works that reflect fragmentary visual aesthetics that the ordinary viewer may not notice.
We provided this opportunity to discover people with this type of artistic ability, and indeed the results were very positive.”
