HIPA Secretary-General, Ali bin Thalith said, "The faces of children have a unique human influence that is almost unmatched in this world. Their faces are filled with innocence, spontaneity, and freshness, and they are among the most attractive subjects for a photographer’s lens, and also the most difficult because capturing the best photo can only be obtained by the persistent and patient photographer. We received many great photos and celebrate the skills of our winners. Congratulations as always to our winners, and we look forward to even more of our community getting involved in next month’s competition.

As a photographer, I am inspired by the simplicity of things and details that most people don't notice."
The Saudi winner, Jawhara Saeed Al Zhrani, said, "I took the photo in Jeddah's historical district, and I love taking pictures a lot in this area because of its visual appeal. It is the first time that I win and I feel great joy. Winning will provide great exposure for within the photography community, and it will provide my photos wider appeal.
