Tremendous response to Nawras MMS competition with winning customers receiving great prizes 

 

 

26th June 2010

 

Nawras, member of the Qtel Group, has announced the 16 winners of its extremely popular MMS picture competition which closed for entries on 15 June after almost 40,000 pictures were submitted. During the course of this first-of-a-kind contest, over 400,000 photo viewings took place leading to customers casting their winning votes for a striking Omani landscape shot of a scenic wadi. Indeed, it was the picturesque allure of mountains and wadis that proved to be the most popular subjects favoured by many of the thousands of talented customers who took part.

 

Every time a customer sent a picture to the MMS Zone they were in with a chance to win one of the fantastic prizes on offer including the grand prize of a Nokia N900 with RO100 in free credit. The top prize was won and collected by a modest contributor who wishes to remain anonymous.

 

“We have seen an amazing response to this competition and we are so pleased that our customers have enjoyed it so much,” said Mohammed Al Najwani, mobile VAS marketing manager. “Our beautiful country offers so many different photographic opportunities leading our customers to send in some truly stunning entries. I am glad that it was a popular vote to decide the winner because it would have been an impossible task for us to choose from all the talented entries we received. I hope everyone will continue to enjoy the simplicity and fun of sending an MMS even though the competition itself is now over,” he said.
