Algerian Photographer Achieves Global Recognition at WSIS 2025 Photo Contest
Algeria is celebrating a significant artistic and technological milestone as a photograph by an Algerian artist has been ranked among the top ten globally at the prestigious World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS 2025) photo contest. This remarkable achievement, announced by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, underscores the burgeoning talent within the North African nation and its contribution to the global digital landscape. The competition, an integral part of the WSIS event, convenes annually in Geneva, Switzerland, bringing together diverse perspectives on the future of the information society.
“At the Summit of Connectivity”: A Tribute to Telecom Heroes
The award-winning photograph is the creation of Yacine Imadalou, a talented photographer associated with Algérie Télécom, the national telecommunications operator. Titled “Au sommet de la connectivité” (At the Summit of Connectivity), Imadalou’s work is a profound tribute to the dedicated technicians of Algérie Télécom. More broadly, it honors the relentless efforts of all telecommunications operators who work tirelessly to ensure the uninterrupted continuity of essential telecom services across Algeria. The announcement of this global distinction took place recently, with Mr. Sid Ali Zerrouki, Algeria’s Minister of Post and Telecommunications, personally present to congratulate Yacine Imadalou. Minister Zerrouki conveyed his immense pride in this achievement, emphasizing that such recognition beautifully showcases the inherent talent and creativity of young Algerians across various professional domains. This distinction not only celebrates artistic merit but also highlights the critical infrastructure work that underpins digital transformation in African nations like Algeria, often carried out by unsung heroes in the field.
This international accolade for an Algerian artist at a prominent global technology summit serves as a powerful testament to the nation’s creative potential and its commitment to digital advancement. It reinforces the idea that talent knows no borders and that African voices are increasingly making their mark on the world stage, contributing to both the arts and the vital infrastructure of the information society.
