63 countries participate in Pars Int’l Photo Award Festival
Reza Mir-Mohammadi said the festival aims to promote art and culture, support young and talented artists, and showcase the capabilities of the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone, IRNA wrote.
The festival, which was held in three categories — oil industry, family, and environment and tourism — received entries from photographers from around the world. After a judging process, winners were selected and will be announced at a ceremony in September, coinciding with the opening of an exhibition of the winning works.
Mir-Mohammadi also announced that a festival book, ‘Pars Photo’, has been published and will be presented to winners and attendees at the ceremony.
The festival was organized by the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone, in cooperation with the National Iranian Oil Company, and with the permission of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and the International Federation of Photographic Art
(FIAP).
Mir-Mohammadi explained that the festival was originally scheduled to take place in March, but was postponed to September due to various reasons, despite the book being ready and the winners having been selected.
