Hello Participants,
PaGaLGuY is glad to announce the winners of its first ever Photography Contest for Engineering students. The winners have been chosen on the basis of Critics Recommendations as well as Popular Choice Awards.
The Critic’s Recommendations are the final three photos listed by our eminent judge – Pulitzer prize nominee photographer Mr Arko Datta. Mr Datta, while commenting on the photos, said he would have liked to see more ‘life’ in the photos, than mere structures, since the theme of the competition was Campus Life.

The First Prize Winner will be awarded an Amazon-voucher worth of Rs 5,000.
Second Prize – Entry no 2 by K.S.S Bhargav, IIT Tirupati

Third Prize- Entry no 28 by Shakti Swaroop, Manipal University, Jaipur
And the Third Prize Winner will receive a voucher worth 2,000.
