SANKALP 2026, the Annual Inter-Institutional Cultural and Management Fest by GL Bajaj Institute of Management & Research, Greater Noida, presents Capture Quest, a live, on-the-spot photography competition that challenges students to find beauty, meaning, and story through their lens under real-time pressure.

About the Event

Capture Quest is not about who has the best camera; it's about who has the sharpest eye. Participants are given 60 minutes to capture the most creative, meaningful, and compelling shots on location, followed by 30 minutes of editing to bring their vision to life. Every frame tells a story, and the best storyteller wins.

Whether you shoot on a DSLR or a smartphone, Capture Quest gives every photographer an equal platform to compete and shine.
