Photo Contest for Panoramio : ATP, a manufacturer of flash memory products, announced that it is launching a long term global promotional partnership program with Panoramio, a geotag-oriented photo sharing website. This partnership will be kicked off with a co-hosted world wide photo contest which will focus on geotagged photos. Starting on April 1st 2008, Panoramio users can submit photos tagged with GPS location data in four categories designed to inspire the unique advantages of the geotagging feature scenery, heritage, travel, and unusual location. Winners will be chosen monthly to receive a variety of ATP high performance products including the new widely acclaimed GPS Photo Finder, the world’s first on-the-go geotagging device.

“This partnership was very natural as both ATP and Panoramio offer complimentary product offerings which help enable the geotagging feature in digital photography. Our Photo Finder is the most convenient, universal way to geotag photos on the fly while Paroramio offers the most comprehensive solution to online geotagged photo sharing,” said Michael Plaksin, ATP Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We are looking forward to the continued development of this program, as together our solutions offer the complete user friendly geotagging solution”

Since its founding in 2005, Panoramio had seen rapid growth to 1 million registered users by October 2007. In July 2007, Panoramio was acquired by Google. Currently, most of the photos uploaded to the site can be accessed as a layer in Google Earth, with new photos being added at the end of every month. The site’s goal is to allow Google Earth users to learn more about a given area by viewing the photos that other users have taken at that place. The ATP Photo Finder allows users to add geographical information to their digital photos without the help of a computer or any software. It is universally compatible with any digital camera using jpeg image files, giving users the convenience of a single device to geotag pictures from multiple camera brands and models.
