- Trade fair visitors can vote for their favorites among
the submitted pictures
- inhorgenta europe is
awarding a savings account worth 1,000 euros to the winner
inhorgenta europe, the largest trade fair for watches, clocks,
jewelry, precious stones, pearls and technology in the EU, is supporting the
ChronoKids Award, which the watchmaker Chronoswiss is holding in cooperation
with the association "HORIZONT". Within the drawing contest for
children held by the Munich Horizonthaus, the approx. 30,000 expected trade
visitors can vote which pictures should receive awards using a chip in their entrance
ticket.
In addition, inhorgenta europe is
awarding a savings account worth 1,000 euros to the lucky winner. Chronoswiss
is also donating 1,000 euros, so that the winner can look forward to a total of
2,000 euros. The savings account bearing interest will be managed by
"HORIZONT e. V." until the young winner turns 18.
"Within the
framework of this event, we want to make a contribution to ensure that a young
artist, who perhaps has not grown up in the best of circumstances till now, can
receive better support," Manfred
Wutzlhofer, Chief Executive
Officer of Messe München, stated.
The ChronoKids Award was
created by the inhorgenta europe exhibitor of many years Chronoswiss on the
occasion of its 25th anniversary to support the initiative "HORIZONT
e.V." more strongly, which was started by the Munich actress Jutta Speidel.
The foundation looks after homeless mothers and children in Munich. The young artists from the Horizont
home aged between 6 and 16 were challenged to design the dial face of
the Chronoswiss watch "Orea" with their creative input. They put
their own ideas about the topic of "time" on paper under the expert
guidance of an art therapist. Unique watches
will be manufactured with the winning motifs and auctioned in the fall. The
proceeds will go completely to "HORIZONT e.V.".
Chronoswiss will present
the ten most beautiful pictures at inhorgenta europe
2008 from 15 to 18 February. You can obtain additional information about the
ChronoKids Award at the Chronoswiss press conference with Jutta Speidel
at 3 p.m. directly at the trade fair booth (booth 100, Hall B1) on Friday, 15
February.
