The response from local amateur photographers has been overwhelming and their submissions have been of a very high standard. The monthly winners will be announced on Facebook and will be requested to attend a prize-giving ceremony held every two months at the Singer Sri Lanka Head Office.  The prize giving for the October and November winners was held on 31 January. The winner of the October competition, Wijesundara received the highest recorded ‘likes’ on the Singer Sri Lanka Facebook page for the month, while the winner for the November was Sampath Palliyaguruge.

The Singer Seya Competition began in October 2012 and will continue till October 2013, at which point an exhibition will take place displaying 120 of the best photographs posted by Singer’s Facebook fans.
