Calling all shutterbugs of Odisha - with a bid to expose their art!

Cliquers’ invites photographers to participate in its stride to create a platform & scope for the shutterbugs of Odisha - To grow & mature in the brimming market; purely by unleashing and elevating the high spirits higher to encourage photography, more as a form of art. If you’re a rare breed of still photographer, here’s an opportunity knocking your door. An opportunity to showcase creativity and expression captured through your lens! 

This season we aim to explore, nurture & promote "ODISHA - Through the Pinhole” (open to interpretation).
 
“Odisha – is a place where one finds an astute amalgamation of spirituality, religion, culture, art, nature & a growing commercial market. With a number of festivals and fairs also taking place round the year, Odisha stands as a true land of festivities. With the spirit of Buddhism still haunting the very air of the state, Odisha is a place where the language of stone defeats human language.
Filled with exquisite temples and extraordinary monuments, Odisha is home to many thousands of prolific artists and craftsmen. The temples and monuments are among the most magnificent gems of religious architecture the world has ever produced. Being home to the largest brackish water lake in Asia, three mighty rivers, many pristine beaches, wildlife sanctuaries and natural landscape of often-enchanting beauty, Odisha is a unique and fascinating land, still largely unexplored.”
