The winners of Think Tank Photo’s first photo contest have been named.
The winner of the Grand Prize award is Chan Kwok Hung. In the photographer’s words, “This photo was taken in Myanmar. When the little Buddhist monks had completed a whole day of learning and working, they play football together. They treasure the moment of fun and joy because two years later they will be sent to different temples according to their academic performance for further study and their career.”
