| To translate the club’s objectives into immediate action, the Media Club hosted its first practical challenge of the year, titled “Colour Hunt.“ This interactive photography challenge was designed to test the participants’ immediate observation, composition skills, and active engagement. |
| Prior to the launch, participants were assigned a predefined, strict color palette. They were instructed to fan out across the Vidya campus, using their surrounding environment to find and capture frames that precisely matched or creatively utilized the assigned colors. The challenge emphasized technical color harmony and framing over high-end equipment, allowing smartphones and professional cameras to compete on equal footing. Upon completion, the photographs were digitally submitted to the Media Club coordinators for evaluation based on color accuracy, composition and visual storytelling. |
| The event concluded with an overwhelming response, showcasing a diverse array of entries that highlighted the participants’ enthusiastic and highly individualistic artistic perspectives. |
