Texas Photographer Snaps Up Grand Prize in Cingular Photo Contest
For Joshua Ortiz one click turned out to be worth $50,000, reports The Houston Chronicle. Mr. Ortiz was named the winner of Cingular's "Raising the Bar" photo contest for his photograph showing the shadows of five children -- all siblings -- holding hands.
Mr. Ortiz, a graduate student in communications at Texas A&M University, took the photograph with his Cingular Wireless Sony-Ericsson S710 camera phone.
In July, Cingular asked photographers to submit images that resembled the Five Bars imagery in Cingular's "Raising the Bar" advertising campaign. Photographs were submitted, weekly winners were named throughout the summer, and grand prize winners were narrowed down to five finalists. Nationally acclaimed photographer Robert Clark -- an avid user of Cingular's Sony Ericsson's S710 camera phone -- helped choose the grand prize winner."
