Pakistani photographer Zaeem Siddiq has won first place in the international Wiki loves EARTH photo contest for his photograph of the scenic Shangrila Lake in Gilgit-Baltistan.
Wiki Loves Earth is a photo contest of natural monuments, where participants picture protected areas and upload their photos to the Wikimedia Commons online platform.
The film’s ban in India also caused many to speak up against the censorship of such issues as many were shocked to see no remorse from abuser’s side as well
Zaeem’s winning photo was one of 259 nominations from 26 countries submitted to the 9-person international organising team after selection by the national juries of participating countries.
The second prize was won by Jorge Nelson Alves for his photograph of the Laurisilva (Laurel Forest) in Portugal’s island of Madeira, while a photograph of the Alpine ibex in Nationalpark Hohe Tauern in Austria took third place.
