Last year, ViewSonic tapped into the spirit of kindness to give people hope during the pandemic. The theme for the 2021 ColorPro Award was ‘New Adventure’. Adventure comes in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes we search for it, sometimes it just finds us. No matter when, where, or how it happens, adventure is felt, experienced, and remembered. And part of its beauty is its breadth of definition. This years award celebrates the spirit of adventure, through the lens of photographers from around the world.<\/p>\n
With the support of five creative industry leaders including Capture One, Shoot the Frame, Monogram Creative Console, Getty Images, and iStock, about 6,500 entries were received from 41 countries illustrating this year\u2019s theme.<\/p>\n
ViewSonic and its partners hope to inspire the world with creativity through this annual contest, not only to celebrate the global re-awakening, but also the adventures that follow through different perspectives gathered from people all around the world.<\/p>\n
To uncover cultures unseen, to discover the wonders of nature, to dive into the depths of history and to experience the unexpected. Whatever the adventure is, the 2021 ColorPro Award celebrates the spirit of adventure through the lens of photographers from around the world.<\/p>\n

In the village of Uzgen, Osh region, Itin Bietov Jildizbek, a wealthy local man, has organized a massive game of Alaman-Ulak, also known as Dead Goat Polo, to celebrate the 13th<\/sup> birthday of his son Cherniaz. More than 170 horses and men wearing the classic Soviet tank hat or a Kyrgyz tebetei hat, push and shove each other with dexterity and endurance in fearless combat as they fight for possession of\u00a0a young 60 kg bull.<\/p>\n2.

Since 1990, millions of people in the capital of Bangladesh have been using the train to go home on a regular basis because the train is one of the easiest and most accessible mediums of transportation. As there are not enough trains, people are often forced to travel sitting on the train roof, at the door, by the window, at the intersection of two compartments and even standing beside the engine.<\/p>\n
