Picatoo, Mozcom’s online photo developing system, in partnership with South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) will culminate its "Flying Smiles Photo Contest" at the Glorietta 3 Park Tent on Nov. 16.

The event will showcase the shortlisted entries, a digital photography seminar to be conducted by John K. Chua, founder of Adphoto, and the awarding ceremonies to be graced by Undersecretary Oscar P. Palabyab of the Department of Tourism. A free concert by premier pop / R&B group, Freestyle will cap the event.

Resorts and travel agencies like Discover Travel Agency, Days Hotel, Club Ultima, Red Coconut, and Pearl of the Pacific will also participate in the travel fair.

The competition, which ran from May to October, 2007 was open to amateur photography enthusiasts. "Flying Smiles" was divided into two general categories: "Fly SEAIR" was open to all SEAIR passengers traveling during the contest period. All entries featured "anything SEAIR" which were photos taken inside or outside the SEAIR plane, ticketing offices, individuals wearing SEAIR shirts, and the like. The "Smile SEAIR" category showcased not only the beauty of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, but of its people as well. The entries featured happy and smiling vacationers with SEAIR’s destinations as backdrop. The most popular destinations were Boracay and Palawan.

Winners will receive a 45-day fly-all-you-can SEAIR adventure pass, and free three days, two nights accommodation at Sun Village Boracay Resorts. Exciting prizes will also be given to the guests during the event.

"The turnout of the entries is overwhelming as we receive photos of people with heartwarming smiles almost everyday. It would be very tough on our parts to choose who the winners would be. We are indeed lucky to have SEAIR on board this project," said Robertson Chiang, Mozcom’s COO/CTO.

Patrick Tan, SEAIR’s VP for Commercial Affairs added, "We are excited to award the winners of the SEAIR — Picatoo Flying Smiles Photo Contest. We are happy with the entries which featured people smiling in our country’s most beautiful places. SEAIR has created a great partnership with Picatoo."
