The award was granted to him in recognition of his breathtaking shot of a runner framed against a majestic skyline. Each of the competition's winners received a Flatron TV set presented by LG Electronics.

During the dinner's proceedings an announcement was also made about the positive results gained from the Society's "Vote for Petra" initiative that was supported by the Jordan Telecom Fund, for this initiative generated more than 1200 votes for Petra to be recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

Commenting on the event's proceedings, Mr. Rafic Hamarneh Vice President for the Society for Care of Neurological Patients: said, "We regard the Dead Sea Ultramarathon as a culmination of all the efforts put forward by individuals and organizations alike, for we realize that without the Patronage of HRH Prince Raed Bin Zeid , HRH Prince Mir'ed Bin Raed, and the support of our partners LG Electronics, the Middle East Complex, Abdali Investment and Development, Jordan Ahli Bank, and of course the extended backing that we have received from the local armed forces, the traffic department and the civil defense and last but not least, the volunteers, we would not have gained the regional and international acclaim we enjoy today. Our Kingdom, thanks to our partners' support is the host of one of the most prominent sports events on the global sports arena. So on this occasion, I would like to thank all the members of the society and our partners for I am sure that together we will work towards making the LGE Dead Sea Ultramarathon enjoy more successes year after year".

From his end, Mr. Ghazi Farouq added "Together we celebrate yet another successful edition of the LGE Dead Sea Ultramarathon, and like my colleague Mr. Hamarneh I would like to thank all our supporting partners, and especially HRH Prince Raed Bin Zeid, and HRH Prince Mir'ed Bin Raed, for they are the pillars of this event's success. I also would like to extend our gratitude to our volunteers for their true spirit of solidarity is what held this event together. As a token of our appreciation we on this happy occasion would like to announce that we are offering discounts on LGE products available in our showrooms to all who have contributed to this event's success".
