The ten-week contest, dubbed ‘Through the Lens’, will

To win, participan­ts need to share compelling images from any of AirAsia’s over 130 travel destinatio­ns worldwide.

AirAsia X group head of commercial Barry Klipp said: “Since its inception, AirAsia has been an enabler of air travel by providing consistent­ly low fares.

“We are committed to innovation and technology, and with this Sony partnershi­p, we hope our guests will be inspired to share their travel experience­s wherever AirAsia flies, through their own lens.”

Klipp added: “We launched this contest with Sony to showcase how travel experience­s can be told in amazing ways visually no matter what the budget – either through a smartphone, or with the best camera equipment in the market.”

Sony Malaysia managing director Satoru Arai said: “Due to the increase of smartphone penetratio­n in the market, passion for photograph­y has advanced rapidly within a few short years. People have started taking more aesthetic travel photos, which connect (thanks to social platforms) with complete strangers across the world.

“In collaborat­ion with AirAsia, we believe we can keep the inspiratio­n chain alive, and people will start capturing the beauty of everyday life through their lens.”

The grand prize is a moneycan’t-buy experience, where as joint ambassador, the winner will be rewarded with the chance to be part of exciting new AirAsia travel experience­s, and be involved in exclusive product launches by Sony Malaysia.

The winner will also win free return Premium Flatbed seats and accommodat­ion in Tokyo, to visit Sony’s Japan headquarte­rs, as well as Sony’s new full frame mirrorless camera, Alpha A7 III K worth RM9,433, and Sony h.ear on 2 wireless headphones worth RM1,093.

Also up for grabs are nine consolatio­n prizes, including AirAsia X flights, and a Sony RX100V camera worth RM4,299, provided weekly to the best creative story submitted on the contest’s microsite.
