1.1 Overview.
As part of Smart’s support for the UP Centennial celebrations, Smart is partnering with the UP Diliman College of Mass Communications to launch the UPiktyuran Na! with Smart: UP Centennial Smart MMS Photo Competition and Polling (UPiktyuran Na!).
The MMS Photo Competition aims to urge UP students, alumni, faculty and employees to share their own stories about their experiences in the university not through words but via photos taken using a camera phone, submitted through Smart’s MMS service and viewed over the Internet. Those who are not eligible to join the competition may take part through the Polling component, wherein they can vote for their favorite MMS photo entry as viewed in the web.
Smart would like to take part in honoring and marking UP’s Centennial celebration by launching a competition that vividly portrays the significance of the occasion and the meaning of being a part of the country’s premier university.
