COLOMBO : The President’s Media Division, in collaboration with the Clean Sri Lanka Secretariat, is compiling a National Visual Chronicle documenting the impact of Cyclone Ditwah on Sri Lanka and the subsequent recovery process.
Accordingly, the President’s Media Division invites professional and amateur photographers as well as the public to submit relevant photographs.
This initiative is being carried out under the Government programme for the documentation and preservation of photographs capturing significant historical events in Sri Lanka.
In this context, plans are underway to hold this National Photography Exhibition from 13 to 17 February 2026 at the premises of the Lotus Tower, Colombo.
Photographs reflecting the impact of Cyclone Ditwah and the resulting disaster on daily life, emergency relief efforts provided to affected communities, initiatives aimed at recovery and restoration, safe shelters established for displaced persons and the rebuilding of livelihoods can be submitted.

In addition, they will be featured in a online visual archive together with relevant information on image credits and copyright information.
