Microsoft Canada begins Bing photo contest
By Adnews Staff
Microsoft Canada has begun a contest promotion called "Put Your Town on the Map with Bing." The national initiative is being conducted in association with Walmart and Kodak Canada. Consumers can enter by submitting photographs of their hometowns to a website at <http://www.bingphotocontest.ca>. These photos will be posted to the website for public voting. The winner will be the submitter of the image that garners the most votes in four weeks. The winning photo will appear on the Bing.ca homepage on Canada Day, while the submitter will receive a prize package of goods and services from Kodak and Walmart PhotoCentres. Prizes will also be awarded to the photographers whose images receive the most votes each day. "With this contest we want Canadians to kick their hometown spirit into high gear and get a chance to show it off to the rest of Canada on the Bing homepage," said Jed Schneiderman, marketing director of Bing.ca. "The Bing.ca homepage is known for featuring some of the world's best photographs, including great Canadian landmarks, and we're looking forward to showcasing the winning Canadian hometown photo alongside them."
