FRIDAY 7 AUG 2009 - CLOSING CEREMONY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of the whole project process the winner of the game gets authorship and rights over certain parts of the original footage. This condition was signed and delivered through a small closing ceremony at De Unie - an emblematic center of Rotterdam's cultural scene that is gradually loosing ground to partying (note mirror disco balls).
Dieter Vandoren, winner of the game, is asked to come up to the stage to have a short speech, sign the Agreement and receive the prize.
