To give people an alternative to the everyday Christmas cards and promote Nokia's camera phones, we created 'Picture Poetry'. Visitors can submit their poem or wish and it'll be converted word by word into a visual poem, which you can send to a friend.
For this project we took over 7000 pictures of (mainly Dutch and French) words which can be found in the street in various Belgian cities and Paris. The site was created in Dutch & French. On top Club Nokia members could participate in a contest where the top poems were being rewarded with a Nokia N73 camera phone.
For obvious reasons we can’t reshoot all these words again in English. Anyhow, to show you how it worked we’ve entered a set of English words. Please pick one of these sentences to get the feeling of how it worked.

To show you we could basically tackle any wish in Dutch or French, we uploaded the picture database on Flickr. Please take a minute to have a look.
