KEVIN DOWLING WINS GRAND PRIZE IN THE OLYMPUS PEN YOUR STORY CHALLENGE

Contestant’s Winning Creation Shot with the Olympus PEN E-PL1 to be Highlighted at U.S. Open National Tennis Championships

CENTER VALLEY, Pa., August 18, 2010 – Olympus announces that Kevin Dowling’s skating documentary video “Blading” is the Grand Prize Winner* of the PEN your story challenge. In May, Olympus asked the public to propose what they would do with the Olympus PEN® E-PL1 portable camera featuring digital single lens reflex (DSLR) image quality, point-and-shoot simplicity and high-definition (HD) video and $5,000 to bring their creative visions to life. Their videos demonstrate the amazing works of art that are possible with the powerfully simple PEN.

Kevin will receive an all-expense-paid trip for two to New York City to attend the Olympus-sponsored US Open National Tennis Championships. There, a sample of his video will be displayed on the giant video board in the famed Arthur Ashe Stadium before an audience of thousands.
