I find it great that Leica is trying to use new media like twiter and facebook in their marketing but I don't get the Berlinspiration contest. It was like: here I'll show this door and you tell me which coordinates in Berlin this is, or here's a tiny piece of a picture and you'll have to figure what place this is by choosing from the list of names that very few can pronounce. I guess it makes sense for people that knows Berlin but wasn't it supposed to be a worldwide campaign?

I have never been in Berlin. But i found the questions to be real simple. Just do some Googeling and you will find out the right answers in no time. No problems here.

Well, some of the questions were not as simple, IMHO. :eek: Nevertheless, I also managed to find out the answers, and Berlinspiration confirmed in the meantime that all answers were correct... :)

Where did you see confirmation?

I got an email saying they would be confirming answers over the following week.

 

And ya, i got all my answers by using google.

Only two of them I had to guess on after narrowing down to two:

 

Day 2 (steel door), was it Tauschen Klub?

 

The question where it was a series of people speaking on video, was it a club on the canal with a pool built in the canal along with saunas?

 

BTW, I've never been to Berlin.

Yesterday, on Tuesday, I received this e-mail:

 

"Hallo Berlinspiration-Teilnehmer-in,

 

Sie haben alle 7 Fragen von Berlinspiration beantwortet!

Mit den richtigen Antworten und etwas Glück haben Sie die Chance auf

außergewöhnliche Preise. Ob Sie zu den Gewinnern gehören, werden wir am 22.

September ab 15 Uhr auf der "photokina" bekanntgeben. Die Preisträger werden

außerdem direkt per Mail benachrichtigt und auf Facebook veröffentlicht.

 

Doch schon jetzt möchten wir Sie für Ihre Teilnahme an Berlinspiration belohnen:

<http://www.facebook.com/LeicaCamera>

 

Und falls Sie sich immer noch fragen, wie die richtigen Antworten auf die 7

Fragen lauten, können wir Sie beruhigen: Ab morgen werden wir auf Facebook jeden

Tag eine richtige Lösung bekanntgeben.

 

Wir danken Ihnen für Ihre Teilnahme an Berlinspiration und drücken Ihnen die

To summarise it shortly in English, they confirm that I answered all questions - HOWEVER, now I see that is does not mean that I answered them CORRECTLY - , that the winners will be announced today at 15:00, the winners will receive an e-mail message, and that the correct answers will be announced day by day on Facebook. And the "brand-new" camera D-LUX 5 can be inspected via the given link.

Well, I visited Berlin several times, but I never have been at one of the asked locations. So I also had to guess based on what I found in the internet. So I am very curious now... :cool:

4 of the other questions I was able to find the exact picture they used somewhere on the internet. Then the one where you could only see parts of the image through the round keyhole thing, I found a picture of the floor of one of the museums listed as an exact match. Plus they were currently having a Magnum show presently.
