Panasonic Kicks-Off 2008/2009 Online Photo Contest
Panasonic Marketing Europe is pleased to announce that the company has launched the online LUMIX Award digital photo contest for 2008/2009. Established in 2002, the LUMIX Award is a European-wide online competition aimed at promoting creativity in digital photography and establishing an interactive platform for digital photographers to share their work. This year’s theme is the “Living Planet” inviting participants to submit their digital images that best captures their environment and what it means to them.

The digital photography competition is open for six months between October 2008 - March 2009. Each month, a winner will be chosen and awarded a LUMIX DMC-FZ28 digital camera from Panasonic. The overall winner of the LUMIX Award competition – for the single best digital photo - will win a LUMIX DMC-G1, the first premium digital interchangeable lens camera from Panasonic. Two final runner-ups will each receive a LUMIX DMC-LX3 digital camera. All submitted digital photographs will be reviewed and judged by an independent panel of professional photographers and creative directors.
The “Living Planet” is in context with the ongoing commitment of Panasonic to preserving the global environment.
