Hello, Nikon! Countdown 2010 Contest Results 31st Dec 2009 - 3rd Jan 2010
Happy New Year to all you folks and thank you for those who have participated in the Hello, Nikon! Countdown 2010 Contest. The contest was launched on Facebook on the 31st Dec 2009. A Nikon COOLPIX S570 will be given to a Fan with the most interesting New Year wish to Nikon, posted on the wall of the fanpage.
We have received close to 600 wishes in a short 4 days and we are delighted to receive all your new year wishes. The Nikon Asia team of judges consists of the team bringing you this Discover Nikon Facebook initiative.
For this contest, we picked the Top 10 entries based on:
The messages that "reaches" our hearts, just like our slogan that says Nikon - "At the heart of the image"
Overall uniqueness and content of the message
Judging did not take into account grammatical errors
Messages in English or Traditional Chinese language both had equal chance to be picked
Some entries have added videos or picture. This does not earn the participant extra credits as we would still judge based on the text greeting message
Winner Congratulations to Olivia Ong, winner of the Nikon COOLPIX S570.
Olivia Ong As we welcome 2-0-1-0,
To our future we say hello.
But every prior weal and woe,
Remain precious memories to behold.
Alas, with Nikon we will show,
How our life stories unfold.
As upon us Nikon bestows,
The ability to shoot like a pro.
So now you very well know,
Nikon is one with which to grow old.
Wall of Fame More New Year wishes from the fans.

Let us all welcome this new year with enthusiasm and discover what we can achieve by giving it all our best. We will then become who we have visualised ourselves to become. Happy 2010! :)

Ian Loh Many happenings in 2009;
So many we thought were hard to find.
Ranging from Susan Boyle to Obama;
Tiger woods to Lady Gaga.
Pictures and videos are what we need;
For next time memories we will greed.
The same goes for the brand new year;
Where memories will always stay clear...
only if you give me a Nikon
the camera that doesn't con!

Special Mention We would like thank Farisha Shasha for her effort in making a small video clip for her submimssion:
Take a look at the pictures you had taken with your bestfriend, NIKON. The pictures are like snapshots of your life, isn't it? You could actually feel the happiness and sadness portrayed in the pictures. Hence, you ought to make both the sweet and sour experiences as important lessons in your life. Come next year, always try to improve yourself. New Year offers a platform for us to make resolutions that we should keep and carry out accordingly. Oh yes, don't forget to bring NIKON along to capture and relive your revolutionary moments. MARVELLOUS NEW YEAR!!!!! (^.^)
