Last week we announced that one lucky person could win a brand new HTC Sensation (exclusive to Telstra) by sending in an original picture which best described how this ‘sensational’ phone would make your life more sensational. Today we announce the winner. Read on.

We (the team behind Telstra Exchange) were so impressed with all the submissions that it was a really tough gig to judge.

But we are pleased to say that rather than just announce the winner today, which we will do, we thought we’d also show you a few others which narrowly missed out.

They were just that good.

It was really hard to pick the final winner but we ‘ummed’ and ‘ahhed’ around the office and finally thought that the clever use of drawing was the best explanation, and honestly it made us all giggle.

Thanks to everyone who submitted their pictures, some of them were outstanding technical photos. We hope you enjoy our top ten and stay tuned on Telstra Exchange for more exciting competitions to come.

Craig Lundon submitted this with the sensational reason;

I wouldn’t miss any of these while I’m checking my Facebook.

Can’t argue with you there Craig.

Daniel Engsmyr suggests;

I’m sick of blending into the background. Make my life exciting with a touch of HTC magic!

Looks like a sticky situation Daniel.

It would be Sensational if I could take this Port Douglas Sunset on my HTC Sensation and share it straight away.

Amazing photo Dom, thanks for sending it in.

Jason Karivira shared his beautiful garden with us with this stunning macro shot;

My image is a picture I took in my garden. I would love a phone with a quality camera, sharing with friends is also important.

Jodi Smith is…

Living the high life with HTC Sensation just like my son Beau

We’re scared of heights Jodi so we’ll leave that up to you!

Tai-Ling Yu wanted to be more sensational;

So I can capture more moments like these.

Great perspective on that shot Tai-Ling, we liked it a lot.

Rob Rose cracked us up with this beauty;

This is my friend Alex. Alex bought a different smartphone before he heard about the HTC Sensation. Alex is in hiding now.

We hope he comes out of hiding soon Rob, go easy on him.

Irwin Proud gave us this gem;

My life would be more Sensational if I could feed the barbarians that are trying to devour my current phone. Then I can sleep better.

Looks like you’ve got a lot on your plate Irwin?

Peter Dradrach submitted a great birthday pic;

Having a great phone with camera (e.g. taken with a HTC desire btw) can help capture those one off sensation moments like my 40th birtday!

Belated happy birthday Peter!

And then of course there is the winner, which we all agreed was just a tonne of fun. Well done Elizabeth Heuzenro.

My life is dull and boring now, no apps or games or friends… But with HTC’s Sensation I’ll be up with the latest trends!

From all of us in the Telstra Exchange crew congratulations and we hope your life is truly more Sensational!
