The photographer, Sultan Al -Haddad, from the Bahrain News Agency, expressed his overwhelming happiness by winning the award for the best press photo, stressing that this victory represents a double achievement for him as it comes for the second time, after he previously crown the same award in the fifth edition in 2021.
Al -Haddad explained that the winning image this year was taken during the Hajj season, and it appeared in the style of the “Sloel”, through which it documented a spiritual scene of a Bahraini pilgrim within the official mission of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the Holy Land in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He indicated that his participation in this picture came in the last moments, without prior planning, but the confidence of the team in the visual message that the image carried was a strong motivation to present and compete in it.
