- Breathtaking photos to appear on facial tissue boxes from bedrooms to boardrooms and everything in between as part of the 2012 ROYALE Canada Collection -
TORONTO, May 30, 2012 /CNW/ - Photos so inspiring they could bring tears to your eyes. Thankfully, they come in the form of facial tissue boxes to conveniently wipe them away. In its third and most popular year yet, more than 9,400 Canadians entered their photo in the 2012 ROYALE Canada Collection contest. Now, after more than 500,000 votes by fellow Canadians, eight winners have been chosen to have their photos featured on the ROYALE Canada Collection facial tissue boxes, and in turn, in homes and offices across the country.
"Whether it's a simple snapshot of something interesting or a momentous occasion, photographs play a huge role in our lives," says Gary MacIntosh, Director of Marketing, ROYALE Canada. "This contest offers a unique opportunity for budding Canadian photographers to gain incredible exposure!"
Since 2009, ROYALE, the soft household paper brand, has encouraged amateur and professional photographers to submit their most memorable photos for the chance to win a $1,500 prize and have their photo become the design inspiration for the facial tissue boxes in the ROYALE Canada Collection.
The 2012 ROYALE Canada Collection contest ran on royale.ca from September to December 2011. Canadians from across the country submitted their most inspiring photos and a panel of judges selected 20 photos for the online vote. The six photos to receive the most votes by members of the Moment with ROYALE community, combined with two photos chosen by the judges, are now part of the 2012 ROYALE Canada Collection. The 2012 Collection will be available at retailers across Canada until July.
