As part of Montage ’26 – Dastaan @ Utsav, we invite you to participate in:
📸 THE ONLINE PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
This year, we call upon photographers and visual storytellers to explore the layered realities of Delhi through two compelling themes:
🌆 THEMES
• Life in Lanes
Step into the narrow streets where the true rhythm of the city unfolds. Capture everyday moments — shopkeepers at work, fleeting conversations, textured walls, children playing, local vendors, silent pauses between chaos. Focus on the ordinary that often goes unnoticed, yet defines the spirit of the city.
• Old Meets New
Delhi is a city of contrasts. Centuries-old monuments stand beside metro lines and glass buildings. Through your lens, explore how history and modernity coexist - whether in harmony, tension, or quiet dialogue.
