PHOTO CONTEST - RESULTS
Dear competitors
I would like to announce you the results of our Photo Contest from the 6th Congress of ISCA. Let me first express my thanks to all who have contributed with their pictures. It was a kind of a trial, whether we could have something more "responsible". Originally, we wanted that only members could give their preference votes for the pictures. Since there were not many votes, we decided to facilitiate the process and opened the voting also to public access. Some new pictures appeared and it seems that the concept was not clearly understood.
The topic of the Contest was the documentary photo. It means to catch the participants in a picture expressing their feeling, mood or position during the congress.
So, taking into consideration only the DOCUMENTARY photos, the final results of the competition would be the following:
1. The 3D photo show, by Steve Mouton
2. Time to take a rest, by Mario Verole-Bozello
3. Australia and South Africa in Skanzen, by Pavel Bella
We congratulate the first three and thank all who have contributed.
We are sorry, but have no material award, however we think that the experience to be the first winner of the first photo contest under ISCA must be a great feeling. Thanks.
Peter
