Message from Chairman
Youth Photographic Society, Bengaluru, is one of the oldest and most prestigious Photography Clubs
in India established in 1971. As of now, the Society boasts of 287 Life Members, 580 registered
Individual members and 30 Junior Associates. Numerous members of our Club are internationally
acclaimed photographers. We are proud that we hold the highest number of international distinction
holders in the country and look forward to flourishing further.
YPS has held 37 All India and 10 International salons and currently gearing towards the 11th International Salon, 2020.
We were excited to have the exclusive category of cost-free participation from youth up to 18 years of age. We were truly encouraged by the number of entries received from across India. This astounding success was possible only because I had the privilege of working with a talented, thoughtful and diligent team. I am grateful for their insights and superb work.
It was exciting to have the Salon Judging process go live and available as a webcast for all the participants and photography lovers across the globe, which is the first of its kind in the country, if not the world, as per our knowledge.
We are extremely thankful to all the 252 participants who submitted 2611 wonderful pictures for the Salon. I congratulate each of you for the magnificent and stunning pictures! The entire Team is proud of the same.
The in-house developed Salon Judging software was also fine-tuned and accentuated with few more features based on the feedback from our Judges of the previous YPS International Salon.
We pledged our commitment to the Digital Economy of the country by digitally processing all the payments, made by the participants and sponsors, through the seamless digital payment gateway on our website.
Open-Judging, a transparent process, where the participants not only have the opportunity of viewing their scores live but also assessing where each picture ranks/stands throughout the process. The distinguished jury, all of whom are eminent photographers themselves, conducted the evaluation of the images with great conscience and unbiased expertise to which I am deeply indebted.
I am extremely honoured to be the Salon Chairman for the 3rd consecutive time and thank the YPS Executive Committee and the All India Salon Committee for trusting me in the execution of the Salon. This definitely increases the responsibility shouldered on me.
As the Chairman of the YPS 37th All India Salon, I feel honoured and thank the photography fraternity for contributing to the salon and making it a huge success! For us who have been planning and working in the committee; there has been a lot of work, a tremendous amount of enjoyment and an amazing feeling of work well accomplished. I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to the Award Sponsors, Print Sponsors - Technova, All the Media Partners, who immensely supported towards the success of the Salon. I thank our own YPS Executive Committee and my adherent & steadfast Salon Committee members for their commitment to excel. Last but not the least, I appreciate and thank all the senior YPS members & past Executive Committees for their continuous support. My very special thanks go to Mr. H. Satish, YPS President for believing in the younger generation and entrusting us with this incredible experience and for constantly being the guiding factor.
Mr. Manju Vikas Sastry
