Bangalore and Hyderabad: MYSUN, an online solar marketplace with a singular aim – to help everyone, be it a residential, commercial or industrial user, go solar in the simplest, fastest, most efficient and economical manner, today announced the launch of #CaptureMySun in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, inviting amateurs, professionals, semi-professionals and hobby photographers to participate. Photographers will need to shoot the sun, in all its might and glory and stand a chance to win exciting prizes. The kick-off event for the campaign is a photowalk, which will take place in Bengaluru on February 4, 2017 from 3PM at Sankey Tank and in Hyderabad on February 5, 2017 from 3PM at Qutub Shahi Tombs, which will stay open until February 20, 2017.

A nationwide initiative, #CaptureMySun would go to more than 21 cities for a similar activity and winners from each city would then compete against each other for a grand prize of cash worth Rs 50,000. #CaptureMySun conducted the first walk in the series in Mumbai on December 18, 2016.

The photo-walk will flag off the event, which is a Nationwide initiative spearheaded by MYSUN in collaboration with Corporates, Independent groups, Institutions and Media Houses to help build conversations around the enormous solar potential that India as a country possesses while engaging in a passion that captures people across age groups, occupations, and lifestyles. To participate, individuals are needed to register themselves on MYSUN portal, participate in the walk on ground or simply upload the picture they click by geo-tagging them and submitting them on Instagram, with a caption #CaptureMySun. All entries need to be submitted within 2 weeks of the contest going live, ie by Monday, February 20, 2017, 23:59 IST.

Speaking on the event, Divyanshu Sachdev, Co-Founder of MYSUN commented, “Post achieving overwhelming success in Mumbai, we are bringing the initiative to Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, with the photo-walk kicking off in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. At MYSUN we have aimed to simplify solar as much as possible and bring it to the masses and #CaptureMySun is a step in that direction. The idea of #CaptureMySun is to build chatter around sun and encourage everyone to look at solar differently.”

Arpit Verma, AVP-Marketing of MYSUN added, “A big part of our initiative at MYSUN is to create and curate demand for rooftop solar and that requires a lot of awareness. We believe with #CaptureMySun we will be able to build interest in solar in a unique way that has never been done before. We also saw a fantastic turnout in Mumbai and that is why this time, not just Bangalore and Hyderabad, we have opened the gates for everyone in the respective states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to participate. In fact, we are also encouraging people to do photo walks in their RWAs, societies, offices, schools etc.”

MYSUN is collaborating with photography groups on the ground in various cities across India. Two individuals who capture the sun in the best way and the most creative way will qualify to win the photography contest.A highly qualified jury has been chosen who has been given the task of selecting the winners. At the end of the Pan India activity, all the city winners will then compete for the best picture and a combined jury nationwide will choose the national grand winner, called the ‘Starrrrr Photographer’. The company is inviting large organizations, media houses, companies and individuals to participate in the photo-walks and is also encouraging them to organize it on their own and share pictures.
