The 2010 Sony World Photography Awards
The 2010 Sony World Photography Awards (SWPA) ceremony recognized some of the finest talent spanning a vast range of categories in Professional and Amateur photography. The program is one of the largest and prestigious photographic award programs in the world today. This year the photographs were celebrated at The World Photography Festival all throughout the glamorous and serene city of Cannes, France.
Element Domes provided a 20’ and 36’ dome used to promote Sony’s involvement in football and photography by showing their technology and cameras. There were over 36,000 total visitors at the festival, some of which included 11 world class street footballers, basketballers, dancers, a DJ and beat boxer, and 15 hostesses.
The SWPA is one of the most influential and internationally respected competitions of it’s kind. We were proud to support today’s most innovative creative talents, by providing our domes. The domes themselves contributed to the all around creativity of this stunning event.
Edinburgh Christmas Festival
Element domes provided a perfect venue for the Edinburgh Christmas festival in what can only be described as extremely festive conditions! With one of the coldest winters on record and snow falling for what seemed like months, the domes provided a haven in which the festive fun could take place. Creating a domeplex with two 36ft domes and a 20ft alongside, the domes contained a cafe, activity area and a Santas grotto with story telling throughout. Even with two foot of snow on the roof, the domes provided a safe and warm environment which far exceeded the clients needs.
Jacqueline Wallace, who is the senior events manager at She’s got it events said ” The Domes within the Santa Gardens in West Princes Street Gardens at this year’s Edinburgh Winter Festival 2009 were a massive success, we don’t know what we would have done without you! We really look forward to hopefully working with you again on this year’s Edinburgh Winter Festival 2010 and once again thanks for the hard work!”
