shoot your own visual diary and stand a chance to win big

Get, set, capture the lockdown

American photographer Diane Arbus once said, "Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies." If you're a young photographer in the making who considers their camera their sketchbook and instrument of spontaneity, here's the chance you've been waiting for. Enrol in a visual storytelling contest by DICE- VFS School of Entertainment Arts where all you've got to do is channelise the angst of the lockdown and capture its many moods through a series of images that come together to make an intriguing story.


Titled The Lockdown Diaries, the themes range from your reflection of the ever-evolving society, a window into your family life or even chronicling cultural celebrations that gained a new avatar this year. There is a jury of established photographers. The top 100 shortlisted participants will move to the second round and attend a visual storytelling and creative writing masterclass by the end of December. Next, they will have to weave a story using the images or visual cues presented by the organisers. The participants will also submit a detailed write-up of their interpretation of the series.


While the top 100 entries will receive a participation certificate, the top 10 stand a chance to win photography gadgets. The victor to be announced in January 2021, will sweep away a professional photography kit.
