Finally, Angel's Wink Production & Events Planner (or simply Angel's Wink or AWP) was able to pick the winner for this year's "My (Funny) Love Affair" Story Writing contest (for soon-to-weds)! The winner was supposed to be announced during the closing ceremony of "WEDDINGS... GET SET... GO!!!" Bridal Fair Year last October 14 @ Rockwell Tent.
With an overwhelming number of entries this year, it was difficult for the committee to choose the winner since each had their own favorites. After seeking help from more industry people and friends to help AWP in the judging, it became much clearer which entry was in the running for the top slot. Mr. Big Man himself, Paulo Clemente, AWP's Creative Head (and formerly head of the Creative Writing Administration of a pre-need company) finally declared the winner - Mr. Kristian Liwanag with his entry entitled "Funk Phenomenon".
Kristian's story won over the others for it's sweet, simple but effective story telling. His work also didn't need much editing, if at all. "Funk Phenomenon" is about a guy who will move heaven and earth in his own charming ways to win the "love of his life".
Kristian, who will marry Christian Grace "Ian" Cambia on February 9, 2008 at Christ The King Church in Greenmeadows, won the following as prizes:
P5,000.00 in cash from Angel's Wink, a prenuptial pictorial session with Wally Gonzales Photography, a Zoom Whitening Kit from Dr. Jessie Cancio Solis Dental Clinic worth P15,000.00, a three-day and two nights stay at Pearl of the Pacific in Boracay, an overnight stay for two at Hacienda Isabella, 100 cd giveaways (with personalized sticker) from wedding singer & event host Paulo Clemente, free misalette production from Angel's Wink, a special pearl wedding cord from Angela's Treasure Trove, and a gift package from Scents & Blends Fragrance Bar.
