Sunrise Avenue Photo Contest

Here are the results of the Sunrise Avenue photo contest. After we realized some finalists (or someone supporting them) had used illegal tactics, we decided to make the final decision with a jury. We wanted to get opinions from people working in different areas, such as politics, sports and fashion.

Jury:

Jarkko Nieminen (Tennis Player)

Aki Riihilahti (Football Player HJK & Finnair Stadium Manager, Helsinki)

Sunrise Avenue band members & management.

All jury members gave 3 points to the best picture, 2 points to second best and 1 point to the third. All voted individually not knowing other jury members points.
