I tried the Google Image Search but nothing came up. I think it needs more time to be indexed by Google. So, I have extra prizes and I’m still giving them away. Here are the entries I thought that were the oddest or cutest (Php500 Globe Call Card).

Underwater in Boracay. During a plane flight. On a huge projector during a student gathering.

Wallpaper on all PCs in a net cafe. The Predator at the MRT. Top of the hat.

Tattoo on the MRT and Inside the operating room.

Note: Just like before, we only give the higher prize to those who won with several entries. We’ll then pick more winners from the extra prizes. The more winners, the merrier. =)

Here are our Top 5 Finalists:

And the winner, as selected by our guest judge @tjmanotoc, is:

Congratulations to all winners and thank you to everyone who joined! Don’t forget to thank @talk2globe for sponsoring our giveaways!

How to claim your prize?

For the lot with 10 winners, first 5 (#1-5) gets the Globe Tattoo and 2nd 5 (#6-10) gets the Php500 Globe Call card.

Just fill out this form and we’ll inform you once it has been shipped.

For our grand prize winner of the MSI Wind U123, we’ll have a short formal awarding so I can hand over the prize.

Congratulations to all winner of round two! As usual, hindi na naman nanalo me, hehe. Better luck next round. :)

Sanctuarian06 · 16 years ago

Dont regret and move on, siguro may tamang basehan talaga why she is the winner diba?

Pero hindi ako makaget-over ah. Hehe…

That’s life. Unpedrictable.

nanayMo · 16 years ago

@Love:

Oh you subscribe to profanity too, that’s so hip. Yeah, you’re right in some points. It’s their contest and they have decided, no debate there. I didn’t even have a personal bet, sorry to disappoint you.

Thinking about it, maybe vulgarity have scored it for her. After all this is the 21st century, and it’s so fashionable to hurl expletives and sexual innuendos at every available opportunity.

See? you’re nodding in approval.

Such luck!

The winning photo isn’t good. Boo!!!

It was just.. Ordinary.

Love · 16 years ago

Hey guys, tapos na ang contest dba? and the judges have already decided. Let’s just accept the fact that your bet didn’t win.

I agree with most of you..

the winner added some vulgar word in her poster,
the poster used wasn’t creative,
the shot wasn’t difficult
the person was in fact in a crowded place though the people wasn’t looking at the poster but in the hot air balloons behind her..

but like some of you might have said before, let the judges decide…

and obviously they have decided to pick Ms. Kaye Arevalo.

Let’s just be happy for her.. she’s lucky, she has those colorful balloons behind her and a nice camera to shoot the scene..

@sir ABE my confirmation message ka dn ba esend kungnpadala nyo na ung prize?hehe tnx allot po tlaga

nanayMo · 16 years ago

@fuchi:

I have voiced my opinion on the foul language used in the winning entry. Some things may have been overlooked obviously. @tjmanotoc and the woman brandishing that sign may find it amusing, but I don’t smile at profanity. Is this the language of the generation? Mr. Olandres is an educator too, but he did allow it.

Some may perceive me as old-fashioned (as some quarters are wont to do) but for me, decency is never out of style.

I presume that poster will be displayed in the lobby at the awarding night.

fuchi · 16 years ago

Congratulations to the winners!!!

If I were the judge for the best “gimme your best shot” contest…I would base my judgement on the criteria and also on the title of the contest…

***for the most difficult, most creative that draws the biggest crowd attention or impact***

There are some shots that really got the criteria like the guy wrapped in a white banner in the MRT-LRT bridge, predator in the LRT or the person with a red tarp in the century tuna, chinese new year and under the sea because you will see their effort and creative thinking.

The judge may have overlooked the other criteria for the photos.

Also, I agree with “NanayMo”‘s comment.

Just my 2 Million cents. haha

lance · 16 years ago

Many of those entries are very creative. Congrats guys! :)

lolipown · 16 years ago

Lodessa Velasco · 16 years ago

yehey…. thanks po… am excited na with the globe tatoo… salamat po ulit..

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 16 years ago

@lodessa velasco – yes, meron. Globe Tattoo.

@sanctuarian06 – naku, kung pagbigyan kita, dapat pagbigyan ko din yung iba. don’t worry, dami pa susunod. ;)

nanayMo · 16 years ago

I’m uncomfortable with the word “friggin'” at the sign of the winning entry. What does it mean really?

If it is a contraction of the word “frigging”, then it is a word most foul by any means, and should not be tolerated anywhere. And to think that the entry is the top winner! Ugghh!

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=frigging

Lodessa Velasco · 16 years ago

may price po ba pag kasali sa top 5? hehehe :D

Sanctuarian06 · 16 years ago

@sir abe, Globe Tatto na lang for me, hindi po ba pwedeng 1 Globe Tattoo and 1 500 Load, panggift ko kay kapatid, birthday niya nung March 9 eh, siya po yung nasa TOP OF THE HAT. Hehe, sige na po. Please. Please. :)

ann · 16 years ago

wow, this is really great… thanks sir abe!

AloofKid · 16 years ago

Congrats to all who won =] Thanks Yuga for making this contest =]

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 16 years ago

Hello Guys!

Those who have multiple entries that made it and won, you can pick which of the prizes you want to get — Globe Tattoo or Php500 Globe Call Card.

We’ll then give the slots to others para meron din sila.

Thanks to all!

Abe

Lodessa Velasco · 16 years ago
