Australia Day - Look up and Smile
This Australia Day 2007 the Australia Day Council and Microsoft have teamed up for a unique perspective on the day that is all things Australian and are asking us to 'Look Up and Smile'.
Microsoft have tasked a satellite and a few aircraft into taking a few snapshots across Australia Day this Friday. The Australia Day Council have organised three enormous artworks to be created around 100m x 100m each with the task of grabbing snapshots of each of these events in NSW, QLD & WA by satellite, one of the interesting observations though will be what ends up on the fringes of the 1.5km image radius photos (Aussie's will be Aussie's)
The other side to this event has to be the photo competition where you upload your photo of what is 'Your Australia Day' and the best community entry scores $5,000 and the best individual winner grabs a 30 night $100,000 family holiday with $15,000 spending cash to the best around Australian Vistas (Uluru, The Whitsunday's, Tropical North Queensland and Western Australia.) Once the photos start appearing on the website Australia Day the public voting begins until the 16th February when the top 20 photos as voted by the public will be judged by a panel of judges to find the winner. You might even gain some inspiration from past Australia Day photos at Flickr.
Look Up and Smile, Windows Vista is coming as is the MS PR!
