Everyday Pakistan, a innovative social media project focused on bringing to light an unconventional image of Pakistan, has recently won an award in India for the Citizen Media and Journalism category at the Social Media for Empowerment 2019 awards, New Delhi..
The person behind this project is Anas Saleem, who paints and celebrates a beautiful, cultural and colorful picture of Pakistan with his lens. He aims to break the world’s general perception of Pakistan, which is mostly sad and unfortunate.
Anas is a free-lance writer from Faislabad. He kickstarted this project back in February 2018 and the project managed to build a place in the hearts of Pakistanis in a short span of time.
Here’s how Quartz India described the winning project:
”Inspired by Everyday Mumbai, an Instagram project that curates images of life in India’s financial capital, Saleem realized there was no similar account for the cities of Pakistan. So he created one on his own, launching Everyday Pakistan”
Co-organised by Facebook and New Delhi-based Digital Empowerment Foundation , the contest celebrates “platform that identifies, recognizes and honors initiatives that leverage the power of social media to bring about a change.”
