Nice news! I'll be looking forward to know how you draft the competition. I ain't a photographer and will steer away, but I am glad that you are indulging more than ever.

@nokianchetan Looks like they clearly listened to you. Speak more often please 😅

That's yet again a great news by Nokia.
Many budding photographers will find a platform to showcase their talent and unique perspectives through their photographs.
Looking forward to the competition.

I would like to give a small suggestion regarding contests.

How about giving Certificates signed by a concerned authority (in digital form to the participants which they can save or print as per their wish, and in physical form to the winners sent along with their prize)?

I think it might act as a boost to budding photography enthusiasts (or in case of contests like the poetry ones, writing enthusiasts).
Many people here on the forum are probably college/ school going students, and a unique skill's certificate in their resume may be helpful for them during their campus placements as recruiters generally look for some unique qualities too while searching for a suitable candidate.

Although, it might not be as helpful for people like me who had already completed their college education years back, but still, it can be an apt way to encourage a good number of people for their future.

Very nice suggestion @praveenp
Certificates to winners is a very good idea and HMD should do this. This will encourage more people.

My favorite campaign by Nokia. Unlike many other campaigns by other brands, this one really matters,  apart from rewards, it gives aspiring photographs a chance to get noticed!  Nokia connecting in various ways ❗️
