Hello Mini

By EspenAO. Thursday, 8. May 2008, 14:21:30

Opera Mini is now in its 4th version, and to celebrate an upcoming release, we want to create a collage featuring people using Opera Mini from around the world.

Therefore, we're reaching out to you. We would like to tribute you on our product pages (among other places) with a picture (head shot) and a testimonial (1-2 sentences) about why you love Opera Mini.

It's recommended that you submit a picture of yourself which is in good quality (high resolution and minimal amount of noise). Feel free to snap a picture of yourself doing something fun while surfing the Web on your phone, or something similar. All you need is a camera and a good chunk of imagination. Just be sure to have your face fairly prominent in the picture.

The reward for those who're used in the collage will receive an Opera goodie-bag and instant Internet fame by being recognized with our smallest (but most powerful) browser .

Good luck everyone, and we can't wait to see those testimonials!

Rules

Deadline is on Monday, May 12th.
Images are limited to .jpg, .gif, .png and .pdf. If you would like to use a different format, please send an inquiry first.
Email attachments are limited to 1 MB. Please send an inquiry if your submission is greater than 1 MB size, or if you have a location to host your file (such as your My Opera Community account), simply send the link.
It is prohibited to send content which is defamatory, offensive or abusive or of an obscene or menacing nature.
Send your entry as an attachment or upload it to your My Opera Community page, and email the link.
By sending us your submission, you accept that Opera Software ASA may re-use your submission for marketing purposes.

when's the deadline?

By rolling_thunder, # 8. May 2008, 14:24:52

Is that Tom Cruise promoting Opera Mini on that picture? How did you guys make him do it?

By annaraj, # 8. May 2008, 14:28:36

Deadline is on Monday, May 12th.

By EspenAO, # 8. May 2008, 14:29:52

It's not Tom Cruise, but a guy who look like a guy who looks like the guy from TOP GUN!

By EspenAO, # 8. May 2008, 14:30:35

But it's May 8th now?

I've already been on a product page. Do I still have a chance to have my beauty shown to the world?

By Furie, # 8. May 2008, 14:33:38

The deadline is three days before the competition is announced! Bless you Opera for making me laugh. It just confirms that the Opera calendar is different to the one we all use.

EDIT: I see its been changed to the 12th now!

By prking, # 8. May 2008, 14:34:20

Sweet!!!! All I need to do now is send a testimonial

By JayceChart, # 8. May 2008, 14:41:29

It's not Tom Cruise, but a guy who look like a guy who looks like the guy from TOP GUN!

Was that a reference to Tropic Thunder?

"HUH! What do you mean, *you* people?"

Why college students? Why not others?

By soumitram4u, # 8. May 2008, 15:52:45

By selurus, # 8. May 2008, 18:10:55

4 days is too short of a deadline. at least give people 2 weeks. oh well.

By SteveD, # 8. May 2008, 18:37:19

There's a beta out at the moment meaning a full version is due, hence the hurry.
And it's not like you have to pose. Just take a realistic shot.

Besides, four days is better than a few days ago for a deadline.

By Furie, # 8. May 2008, 18:43:03

may 12th? too early! i'm going to iceland on the 15th, i would have taken a picture with a geysir in the background

Again?!

Why not as the smiley contest where you told: "By sending us your submission, you accept that Opera Software ASA may re-use your submission for marketing purposes."?

Well... i can use Operamini only on my pc because i have not a phone... and i don't like my face can be full visible in internet... so is not a problem this bad rule.

Ciao, Igor
