BUSINESS REPORT

Nokia yesterday awarded 100 winners of the "Share your story" competition which was announced in August this year.

The competition invited Nokia users to capture their favourite moments using their Nokia devices and share it through MMS or e-mail with two celebrity judges, Joya Ahsan and Apurbo. Out of thousands of submissions, the six top winners had an opportunity to win a Nokia device as well as an exclusive dinner invitation with renowned actress Joya and shopping invitation with celebrity model, actor Apurbo.

The top 100 winning entries were also selected and awarded a Nokia device at today's programme. "A picture is worth a thousand words. When we capture a beautiful moment, it can be worth much more. Taking a look at the image gives us the same feeling of joy and happiness that the person was experiencing at that precise moment. An image is an experience, a different way of telling a story." commented Prem Chand, Managing Director of Nokia Emerging Asia.

"We are delighted that our consumers responded so positively to the Share your Story competition and have shared thousands of stories with us captured through their Nokia devices. Although we are awarding only 100 consumers today, each of the submission was special and I would like to thank everyone for their participation." he added.
