FOTOTHON : The idea that Clicked.

Fotothon was born out of an idea that FAILED.

I & Virat had put in around 18 months of effort to push forth our grand vision of making ‘ Walking’ …fashionable.
A Walkathon, to promote walking & a Walkability Index for our beloved Mumbai.
It was to be organised in association with the GOM to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the state & to be flagged off by none other than the US President, Barak Obama….such a lofty proposition.
The year was 2010 & we could see some light at the end of the tunnel.

What people say?

I would call this initiative a 'True Photography Competition'. Shoot at sight is an excellent thing, plus its great that Fotothon does not allow for photoshop edits. A blessing for genuine photographers. Keep it up, and looking forward to more such initiatives.
Mrs. Sridevi M. Patel
It is a good opportunity for growing photographers. During the whole follow-up on the given topic there was a realisation of the mutual responsibility to save our mother earth.More & more youth should participate in it. The event was managed very well.
Mr. Prashant Gharat
Just purchased a DSLR a week ago & taking part in Fotothon was a big leap for me. Fotothon has helped me to gain confidence in this field. It has also made me aware about the harm we do to our planet & leave it to others to take care of it. thanks Fotothon & Ecofolks for giving me this platform.
Ms. Priyadarshini Dalvi
This is the first time I am participating. More than the competition,I liked the overall concept of the program. The opening event was helpful as it also informed us about the conservation program at Sanjay Gandhi National Park. I liked the way Mr. Sunil Limaye is handling the conservation effort at the park. I would like to congratulate MPCB & Ecofolks for organising this event.
