Auckland’s authentic gelato shop, Giapo is holding its very first Giapo Photography Contest!

Not content with just making the best gelato available and engaging with his community through activities at his shop Gianpaolo Grazioli is inviting people to take part in his first photography contest.

As Gianpaolo put it, “I wanted as many people as possible to have the opportunity to enter the competition and to build on our use of social media to engage with the community; so have made it so that people can enter the competition through our FaceBook page.

“One of our dreams is to give a child a smile, so we have set an entry criteria that all photo’s must show a child smiling. We’re not just looking for a photo of a child sitting smiling, we want to see some creativity, and are looking for something unique” (examples of what is a good image and what isn't can be found here Giapo Photography Contest.

When entries have closed, all images will be uploaded to the Giapo FaceBook, Giapo Photography Contest 2010, where everyone can 'like' how many and as much as they ... like! Once voting has closed, the photo with the most 'likes' on FaceBook wins! The photos with the second and third most ‘likes’, will get one of the two runner up prizes.

The prizes are big! First place is $1000.00 and two runners up prizes of $200.00 each.
