Orange Romania announces "see Orange" photography competition winners

The last 6 December 2007 in Bucharest, the "see Orange" competition has reached its final stage. This year's edition was themed "play", which is a key word in Orange's image campaign. The prizes awarded amount to over 20,000 EUR. Over 4,600 amateur and professional photographers have entered the competition. The ever-increasing number of contestants proves that "see Orange" has become a key event for photography lovers.
The jury, made up of representatives from Orange, Tempo Advertising, Skepsis and Cristian Crisbasan - independent photographer, has awarded 3 prizes for each category and 50 special prizes for all categories. The first prize winners of the "see Orange" competition's sixth edition are Florin Simion from Bucharest for the category black and white photography, Lorant Fulop from Lutita, Harghita county for the category colour photography and Otilia Letitia Rosu from Onesti for the category Multimedia Messages.



"Although I've taken part in the "see Orange" competition in 2005, this prize is my first as a photographer. I'd been looking forward to such an event to motivate me even more in my artistic endeavours", said Florin Simion, photographer, winner of the black and white photography first prize.
"This competition's theme is a special, original one. Participants are required to have a little more creativity than in other photography competitions with standard themes such as landscapes or portraits. This is also the reason why I've taken part in the "see Orange" competition, this year as in previous years. In addition, the prizes offered by Orange are substantial", said Alexandru Axon, photographer and winner of a special prize.
The best photographs can be seen in an exhibition opened at the Orange concept store for a month and they'll be published in the "see Orange 2008" calendar.
