Virtusa recently held its 11th annual Silver Pixels Global Photography Exhibition. The highly anticipated event garnered 204 entries across mobile and print, and saw Virtusa's Sri Lankan Advance Technology Centre (SLATC) at Orion City transformed into an art gallery for a day.

The theme for this year's event was 'Expressions' and Virtusans were asked to showcase their creative talents by working within these boundaries and submitting images under the categories of People, Places, Nature and Abstract.

This resulted in some of the most awe inspiring images the Silver Pixels exhibition has seen in years, making the judges' decision that much tougher.

Judging the print competition were some of Sri Lanka's most renowned professionals in the field of photography, Prasad Hapuarachchi, AjanthaWattalagedera and Kesara Ratnavibushana. The mobile category was judged by Priyantha Bandara.

After much deliberation they declared Sukitha Samarakkody (People), BuddhikaWaleboda (Places), Prasan Karunarathna (Nature and Abstract), and Ashan Weliwita (Mobile) winners of their respective categories, while Sukitha Samarakkody was adjudged the overall winner for the evening.

Silver Pixels is Virtusa's annual photography exhibition, initiated in 2005 by a few photography enthusiasts. Today, it has grown into a company-wide global event. Photographs from the exhibition are used in company material such as the corporate calendar as well the Virtusa coffee table book.
