With the cold air surrounding, the snow of celebration falling all around...the atmosphere so warm and jolly mood diffusing everywhere..yes...it was definitely beginning to feel a lot like Christmas inside Johnsondiversey ODC, the mood of Christmas competitions & plenty of advent presents to be won, was buzzing around!
The Christmas committee came up with the different ideas & finally crafted - "Nothing but Paper", "Mr & Miss Clean", "Nostalgia - Back to School", "The Photographer"...And each of the representatives started advertising on the events they were responsible for & collected the nominations...
Nothing but paper - Collage making was the height of creativity amongst all. Surprisingly there were 5 entries from different teams to unleash their creativity. There were 3 themes given, out of which "Colours of Life" was chosen by all teams invariably...may be people have realized life without colours is a drab...
One of the teams portrayed that "Our art & culture" is the traditional colour of our nation...Other team went one step ahead & showcased the concept of "Donating eyes"...another team clubbed the "stages of life" with the colours and depicted the fact that life is after all a mixture of all emotions and not a monotonous one....One another team doesn't wanna bring up with any serious concepts..instead came up with the basic emotions & correlated them with the various colours...Final illustration was the highlight of all, which depicted the WIPRO LOGO with the colours as it is and talked about "Team Work as a united form of colours"...For the first time,in the history of JDI, we saw such a huge participation & to sum up, we had many voters to make this competition a great success...Based on public voting, the EYE DONATION concept won the first prize & the WIPRO LOGO concept won the second prize...
Other competitions were parallely happening, as collage making was the only floor event...Nostalgia - Back to school was a gala time we all had in figuring out the 16 kids, who in future happened to be the PILLARS OF JDI :) Each one of us picked up a paper & guessed out the names with all the more seriousness, which one would have never experienced even at the time of their board examinations....!!!! We had a 4 member tie for the first place & one was picked by lots...
Next came up the "Mr & Miss Clean" Contest, where there was no competition among the genders, as none of the "Mister" wanted to compete with the "Mistress" of JDI, making it an all women contest....! The prizes were shared between 2 of the gals...
Last but not the least, the contest which saw the maximum number of entries - Photography Competition... People had sent various scenaries & eco related pics among which we saw an extremely creative green pic which portrayed a face made of veggies winning all hearts & the prize as well...
And came the day with all excitement & enthusiasm....every contestant holding their breaths to know the "Winners of the show"...The grand finale ended with the prize distribution to all the deserved followed by cake cutting ceremony which marked the eve of Christmas....!
"Merry Christmas" was all around in the air...! :)
