Lonely Planet Contest Finalist!
Wow…I got this today:
“Congratulations!”
“You have been selected as a finalist in Lonely Planet’s 100 Millionth Guidebooks mosaic photography competition (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/win).
One of your images was judged as one of the top 200 images from a pool of over 130,000 images!
As a finalist your image will now be entered into a second round of judging and you have a chance of winning round the world air tickets to an approximate value of AU$10,000. Your image will be judged by a panel including Tony and Maureen Wheeler, the co-founders of Lonely Planet.
As one of the 200 finalists you have won a handset from Nokia (either an N97 or N97 Mini) up to the value of AU$800. In order to accept your prize, you will need to fill in your name and address plus sign the attached deed of release and return it via regular post to Lonely Planet.”
Very exciting!

At the time, no finalists’ photos were posted, just names.
This is the photo I entered, which by the way, I lost the original file

Did you get your finalist prize already…?
Like you, I was chosen as one of the finalists and sent the papers to Australia, but after that it’s been really quiet. I’m wondering how long it’ll take, or if anything went wrong.
By the way, congratulations on your win, great photo!
Hi Anita,
Congrats on your win, as well!
I never sent in the papers to collect the prize. I did just get an email, though…letting me know that I will need to send the papers in to receive the prize. So at least they are on top of things. Let me know when/if you get that phone so I’ll know what I missed!
Thank you, I guess I’ll just have to be patient…
If anything happens I’ll let you know!
It’s arrived! I’m finally playing with my new Nokia N97.
It took a bit of patience, but I like it!
Congrats, Anita!
