WELCOME NOTE

Ours is a saga of an eventful journey of a fraternity of amateur photo-enthusiasts enjoying to freeze the frames of moments and visualizing life through lenses with an appreciation of the aesthetics. Our beloved North Bengal Photography Club. a Govt. registered outfit and an affiliate to FIP , since its inception on 17th June, 2007 in a little known district town of West Bengal, India, has been relentlessly pursuing its object to promote the essence of photography in this region and to engage in various social activities and endorsements for the betterment of the weaker sections of our locality. An authentic and successful organizer of salons ( 8 Nationals & 4 Internationals consecutively), NBPC has always been regarded as a fair play arena for the umpteenth no. of photo-artists across the globe challenging themselves in front of stalwarts of international repute. For our 13th salon (13th NBPC International Salon of Photography 2020) we earnestly long for your friendship, co-operation and support.

We are happy to support KHUSHII (KINSHIP FOR HUMANITARIAN, SOCIAL AND HOLISTIC INTERVENTION IN INDIA) – a highly reputed NGO working tirelessly for the development & upliftment of under-previledged children, founded by KAPIL DEV, a maestro of world cricket. NBPC always upholds and endorses all social causes benefiting humanity. So do we met. We earnestly urge our participants to walk a yard farther for the cause of humanity – donate any amount, if you wish, to KHUSHII. We, the photographers, always strive to create extraordinary out of ordinary. Here we have a chance to help undoing the shackles that bind the ill-fated children and make them special.
