Bing-O!
Borough shutterbug Anoop Balakrishnan Rema has his lens-eye on New York and his photo of the iconic skyline was chosen to be a finalist in the Bing Hometown Homepage Contest. With thousands of entries from coast to coast to choose from, our hometown hero made it to the final top 10.
Microsoft has plans to use Anoop’s photograph as a background for the new Bing Homepage. You know Google, well here comes Bing — a rival search engine. The winner — and Standing O hopes it is Anoop — will win a Nokia Lumia 1020, a Canvas Pop print of the photo, and a one-year account membership to Bing. Additionally, the Bing team will take a trip to the winning location, and offer a day of service to a local conservancy. But the greatest prize ever is that the pix will be plastered over the internet as the background for Bing.
Standing O is keeping its fingers crossed for our pal Anoop, and hopes that his photo will be up and running in October when the site premiers.
