'The Faru Arts and Sports Development Organization (FASDO) launched The Bongo Style Competition in 2015 in Tanzania for the first time, aimed at youth who have talents in fashion design and photography. The Bongo Style Competition aimed to recognize, reward, and support young fashion designers and photographers and encourage them in their art and culture. We received many applications from across all of Tanzania. Judges and trainers in photography invested their skills, experience, and knowledge in photography with the youth who are aspiring photographers and want to make photography their career. The main role of the trainer was to train candidates in design, photography, skills in the digital age and give them overview of photography industry in Tanzania: Challenges and Opportunity.
