Picatoo and South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) are co-presenting FLYING SMILES, a photo contest that will showcase the talent of digital photographers nationwide. Open to all amateur and non-professional digital photographers, the contest will be running from May 1 to October 31, 2007. Consequently, all entries must have been taken during the contest period. Exciting travel packages await the winners, including a 45-day fly-all-you-can SEAIR adventure pass, trips to Boracay with 3D2N accommodation in Sun Village Resort, digital cameras, and other packages from major sponsors.

Flying Smiles is divided into two general categories, FLY SEAIR and SMILE SEAIR.  The FLY SEAIR category is open to all SEAIR passengers traveling within the contest period.  All submitted entries must feature "anything SEAIR."  Examples would be photos taken inside or outside the SEAIR plane, inside ticketing offices, individuals wearing SEAIR shirts, and the like.

The SMILE SEAIR umbrella contains three subcategories that will change every two months.  The SMILE SEAIR category kicked off with "Daddy and Me," which ran from May to June.  The next two months of July and August will celebrate the 21st century through "My Digital Lifestyle."  Finally, September and October will welcome the nearing end of the rainy season with "Sizzle in the Rain," a showcase that will feature the beauty in rainy days.  All photos under the SMILE SEAIR category must also feature the country’s tourist destinations in the background.

Entries of the finalists will be exhibited in the Picatoo website all throughout November and will be made publicly available for voting.  Equal weight will be given to the votes from both the website and the judges in determining the overall winner.  The contest will culminate with an awarding ceremony with live band performances in that same month. 

Aside from the photo contest, Picatoo and SEAIR are teaming up to give photo and travel enthusiasts exciting incentives.  Picatoo customers whose print orders reach a cumulative amount of Php500 are entitled to a 15% discount on SEAIR airline tickets purchased between May 1 and December 31, 2007, whose travel period is from May 2007 to March 31, 2008.
