Sony Ericsson World View

Aside from new devices, today Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) also announced the World View 2008 competition, allowing camera phone owners around the world to compete and win “phenomenal prizes.”

  • The People’s Choice prize is awarded to the person who receives the most votes from the public around the world and includes a “trip of a lifetime” worth 5,000 GPB/6,250 EUR.
  • The Experts’ Choice winner, on the other hand, is chosen by Sony Ericsson’s panel of elite photography judges. The main prize is once-in-a-lifetime trip worth 10,000 GBP/12,500 EUR.

It’s not an easy task to win the World View competition. 2007’s World View winner, Wang Feng from China comments on the image that won him the prestigious title: “I took the image after my car fell into a ditch and got covered in mud. As I was trying to get the car out, the fly landed on the windscreen and I thought it was the perfect picture. I would not have captured it if I had not had my camera phone with me.”

Funny or not, he’ll be travelling soon. And you could do the same, too. More information about World View 2008 is available from here.
