The ceremony was held at Sethi House. The Tourism Corporation Khyber Pakhtunkhwa staffers kept waiting the participants in Mohallah Sethian, Peshawar City for Adviser to Chief Minister on Tourism, Sports, Archaeology, Museums and Youth Affairs Amjad Afridi. A large number of artists, players, educationists and others were invited to attend the ceremony.
Awards were given to the four legendaries, who were termed ‘jewels of Peshawar’ including Pride of Performance Award-winning Principal of Pakistan College of Arts Tayyaba Aziz, television artist Salahuddin (late), Hockey Olympian Qazi Salahuddin and photographer Fakhar Zaman Azhar (Uncle Toni).
Uncle Toni is the oldest photographer, working since 1965 in Peshawar. He is 77. He was born in Peshawar and has won 105 awards. “Unity of religion” a photo taken by Uncle Toni showing Derwesh Mosque and Catholic Church Peshawar is what he takes pride in.
