INTRODUCTION
The World Photography Day Competition, organized by the Fine Arts Cell, was held on August 19, 2026, at Hall No. 308. As part of the celebration of World Photography Day, a Photography Competition was organized for the students of SRM MCET to encourage creativity, observation skills, artistic expression, and appreciation of photography. The event provided an opportunity for students to showcase their photographic talents and present their unique perspectives through photographs. A theme titled “My Madurai, My Lens, My Story” was announced for the competition, and photographs taken by the students based on the theme were submitted via email. Around 15 students submitted their photographs and presented the stories behind their photographs.
