Category: Food
The authentic flavors of Bangladeshi cuisine from all over the world are showcased in this category through plated dishes, street food, and homemade recipes. Foods like biryani, fish curries, pithas, and bhortas should be photographed in natural light and from attractive perspectives, whether they are taken in Bangladesh or overseas. Pay attention to the small details that distinguish each dish, such as color, texture, and spices. A compelling food photo tells the tale of who made the meal, where it was consumed, and why it matters by visually conveying flavor, aroma, and cultural significance. Images in our competition should highlight composition, authenticity, and the inventiveness with which Bangladeshi food is presented in various locales and cultures.
Category: Culture
The cultural occasions that surround Bangladeshi cuisine around the world are highlighted in this category, including family get-togethers, festival celebrations, cooking customs, and neighborhood gatherings where people exchange recipes and anecdotes. Images of families cooking together, kids learning traditional dishes, or friends enjoying a meal together should all evoke feelings and a sense of community. Images of traditional customs combined with cuisine tell a compelling story about how Bangladeshi culture is conserved and honored everywhere, regardless of where people reside.
Category: Markets & Ingredients
Whether found in Bangladesh or in international marketplaces, capture the key components that characterize Bangladeshi cuisine: spices, fresh fish, rice, vegetables, snacks, and traditional market displays. Images that emphasize color, detail, and arrangement - such as those of produce markets, spice stands, or specialty shops offering South Asian goods - are rewarded in this category. The intention is to demonstrate how these ingredients are transported across borders and into kitchens worldwide, assisting communities in maintaining Bangladeshi flavors wherever they may be.
