Photography Competition: Winners Announced
The 2014 Mason’s Travel “Live the Seychelles Experience” Photography Competition, which saw over 400 submitted entries, came to a close at the end of January. Winners were announced in a ceremony aboard the company’s Indiana catamaran on Tuesday evening, attended by the competition’s Top 10, as well as Mason’s Travel staff and members of the judging panel.
The competition guidelines were to follow the “Live the Seychelles Experience” theme, which was left open for interpretation by the participants, hailing from Seychelles and abroad.

According to Mrs. St. Ange, “this made our selection process for the finalists extremely difficult. The top 10 finalists should be very proud of their achievements and a particular mention to Vincent Quatre who captured the essence of the 'Live the Seychelles experience’ theme.”
“This competition allowed both our international and local participants to interpret the beauty of the Seychelles experience through their own lens. Masons Travel will now use these photos in their Image Gallery which will be showcased around the world to all our international trade partners,” she added.
Budding photography enthusiasts are encouraged to start taking and collecting fantastic shots depicting the “Seychelles Experience,” as Mason’s Travel will be hosting another photography competition to be announced towards the end of this year.
