Three young photographers have been recognised for their creativity and ability to capture the changing face of Seychelles, after emerging as winners of the Seychelles Planning Authority’s 2026 photography competition.
A ceremony was held yesterday at Independence House to award and recognise the winners, and among those present was Seychelles Planning Authority chief executive Angela Servina.
The judging took place on November 9, as part of activities leading up to Town Planning Day 2026, with the competition celebrating 50 years of planning and development in Seychelles.
Launched in early September, the competition invited young people aged between 12 and 21 to explore their surroundings through photography, capturing the transformation of buildings, the country's development and the natural environment that forms part of its landscape.
The winners were Pharell Quatre of Anse Royale secondary school in the 12-14 age category, Shanty Albert of English River secondary school in the 15-18 age category, and Rebekah Monthy of the Seychelles Institute of Art and Design (Siad) in the 19-21 age category.
