EPSON Philippines recently announced the top 3 winners of its 2011 Epson Color Imaging Contest. The winners were announced and presented at the SM Annex Event Area at the SM City North EDSA.
“Beautiful Philippines”, is the theme for this year’s contest which encouraged Filipino photography enthusiasts to explore the beauty of the Philippines from various aspects — human, landscape, nature and architecture. The 2011 CIC is also the first time that Epson utilized a new medium for the submission of entries and announcement of winners, all entries were posted in Facebook. As prolific users of the popular social platform, many Filipinos were able to easily share their captured moments via digital images. Facebook viewers from around the world were treated to amazing photos that featured scenic spots, and colorful cultural snapshots of the Philippines.
