Winner Selection: Five entries will
be shortlisted and will be notified by a comment on their image within 7
days of the end of the Phase in which their entry won a prize. Entries
will be judged by a panel of judges.
Those shortlisted
will be the ones who submit the most original, creative, on-theme and
interesting photo. The overall winner will be determined by the judges.

necessary to enter. A valid Facebook account and internet access is required. By
entering, the winner agrees to provide Philips with information behind their
submitted photography, including where it was taken, why it was taken, what
they like about it, what sound it represents, and so forth. This information
will be created into a script for an audio recording to accompany the image at the
gallery space.
No bulk, third
party or organised group entries will be accepted. If it becomes apparent that
a participant is using a computer(s) to circumvent this condition by, for
example, the use of ‘script’, brute force’ or any other automated means, that
person’s entries will be disqualified and any prize award will be void.
No responsibility
is accepted for entries lost, damaged or delayed or as a result of any network,
computer hardware or software failure of any kind. Proof of sending will not be
