2014 is coming to an end and what better way to bid it goodbye than hosting another fantastic Celebrating Life event. The journey started eight years ago when Standard Chartered Bank and The Daily Star joined forces and created Celebrating Life, a competition inviting films, photographs and lyrics entries that showcase various aspects of life in Bangladesh. Organized jointly by The Daily Star and Standard Chartered Bank, this initiative is our attempt to provide participants with a massive platform for creative expression.

Since 2008, the contest has grown enormously in terms of number of participants, number of entries and it has grown far more diverse. This year, Celebrating Life is even bigger, reaching hundreds of thousands of more people, as the organizers have planned grander events throughout the year to showcase previous and this year's winning entries. Winners will be announced at the Award Giving Gala Ceremony today so don't miss out on this momentous occasion.

Now obviously we don't want to give spoilers for the grand gala event, but we can surely give you some great reasons not to miss it.
