यह संस्कारधानी जबलपुर के लिए अत्यंत गौरव और हर्ष का बिषय है कि नगर के मूर्धन्य फोटो पत्रकार स्व. महेन्द्र चौधरी की स्मृति में मध्यप्रदेश शासन ने राष्ट्रीय स्तर का पहला फोटो पत्रकारिता पुरस्कार स्थापित किया है. स्व. श्री चौधरी ने हर कोण से जीवन को कैमरे के लैंस की निगाहों से देखा, उसे कलम से लिपिबद्ध भी किया और इस क्षेत्र में काम करने वाले लोगो के सामने काम करने की अलहदा शैली का उदाहरण प्रस्तुत किया.

गौरतलब है कि स्व. महेन्द्र चौधरी संस्कारधानी के प्रथम फोटो पत्रकार थे जिन्होंने जबलपुर में फोटो पत्रकारिता की विद्धा को नई ऊचाईयां प्रदान की बल्कि सही मायने में जबलपुर में प्रेस फोटोग्राफी के सूत्रधार थे. कई दशकों तक लगातार सक्रीय फोटो पत्रकारिता करने के बाद अस्वस्थ होने के बावजूद वे अन्य फोटोग्राफी और सक्रीय युवा चेहरों को मार्गदर्शन प्रदान करते थे. मध्यप्रदेश शासन ने स्व. श्री चौधरी के नाम पर फोटो पत्रकारिता पुरुस्कार स्थापित करने का निर्णय लिया और उसी कड़ी में यह पुरुस्कार इस वर्ष से प्रारम्भ किया गया. इस कार्यक्रम में बड़ी संख्या में मीडिया जगत और विभिन्न क्षेत्रों के व्यक्तित्व मौजूद थे. यहाँ यह भी उल्लेख करना आवश्यक है कि विगत 11 वर्षों से जबलपुर में भी स्व. महेन्द्र चौधरी के नाम से नगर निगम जबलपुर एवं रोटरी क्लब जबलपुर साऊथ के सहयोग से प्रतिवर्ष चित्रान्जली प्रतियोगिता का आयोजन किया जाता है, जिसमे संस्कारधानी के छायाकार भाग लेते हैं.
