BenQ supports the World Food Programme via its Cultural Heritage PhotoVue competition

EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS, 21 NOVEMBER 2022 – This year, in conjunction with its annual photo competition, BenQ will donate to the World Food Programme (WFP). For every qualified competition entry, from hobby and professional photographers Europe-wide, BenQ will forward 5 euros to the WFP. 

“BenQ’s corporate social responsibility is multi-faceted. At the same time, all our activities, share the same goal. That is to contribute to the well-being of society,” Steve Chu, President of BenQ Europe, comments.

The World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian organisation. Almost 21,000 staff worldwide work in over 120 countries and territories to bring life-saving food to people displaced by conflict and made destitute by disasters, and help individuals and communities find life-changing solutions to the multiple challenges they face. https://www.wfp.org/

Captivating Cultural Heritage 

With the launch of its 2022 PhotoVue competition, BenQ invites all hobby photographers or professionals to capture this inspiring and stimulating subject and in doing so helps support a good cause. With each qualifying entry BenQ donates 5 euros to the World Food Programme.

BenQ’s 2022 competition is open to all photographers with residency in EU to portray their take on cultural traditions, customs and values which can be channelled through shots of traditional dress, food, celebrations and artefacts or buildings. Every entry that qualifies automatically initiates a 5-euro donation from BenQ to WFP.
