For Kinanis Law Firm Christos Kinanis Managing Partner Judging Committee Message
We were honoured to participate as a team of judges in the first photography competition organized and sponsored by Kinanis Law Firm.
In reviewing the photographs submitted, we strictly took into consideration the terms and conditions of the competition, the quality and the consistency of the work presented within the outlined theme of the competition. In a strict confidential approach, we selected the winners, the honourable mentions and the shortlisted photographs. All decisions were taken unanimously.
Once the photographs were selected for the above-mentioned categories, we then had revealed to us the identities of the participants and location of their residence. We were delighted to discover that something original and innovative was embraced by individuals of various ages, nationalities and that our competition travelled beyond our small island of Cyprus.
We express our thanks and gratitude to all the participants who honoured with their presence/participation this photography competition that explored various means of creativity within the camera to express the theme of “Tomorrow”. With anticipation we look forward to future competitions that once again will promote the medium of photography in Cyprus and allows us the ability to help create awareness of philanthropic organizations that are in need.
