A contest titled 'Miles of Smiles' will select the three best 3 photographs depicting smiling children and families during DSS 2007, which allows amateur photographers to participate with their works. 3 winners from the exhibition will also be chosen to take home prizes on August 19th, marking the International World Photographers' Day.
Up to 50 photographers are slated to take part in the event, being organized for the 3rd year in a row, including photo journalists, amateurs and professionals. Visitors will be shown around the participating works.
Ahmed Ali, In-Mall Events Project Coordinator at the DSS Office, said, "Talented photographers should be honoured and appreciated and that's why we have initiated such an exhibition which is a good opportunity for various photography enthusiasts outside and inside the UAE to present their best works before a wide spectrum of audience."

Launched in 1998, Dubai Summer Surprises was conceived as the foremost family entertainment event during the summer season for the whole of GCC. Targeted at visitors from outside the UAE and within the country, DSS has been a major entertainment and shopping attraction since its inception and witnessed 1,875,000 visitors in the year 2006 compared to 600,000 in 1998. The event has succeeded in positioning Dubai as the leading summer destination in the region.
The ten-week event is a celebration of different surprises that offer visitors and shoppers the perfect family entertainment opportunity and the ideal combination of shopping and adventure. Over the years DSS has hosted numerous surprises such as Food, Water, Global, Ice, Flower, Sports, Heritage, Arts, Techno, Cartoons, Colour, Sweets, Knowledge, and Back-2-School. The summer event lays special emphasis on children, who are provided all the opportunities to hone their skills while enjoying a fun-packed ten weeks of activities. DSS also has its own mascot, Modhesh, the ever smiling brand ambassador who embodies everything that the event stands for - fun, excitement, brightness and unlimited joy for children.
Dubai Summer Surprises as a venture has contributed significantly to the economy of Dubai and continues to do so by enhancing different economic sectors during a lean period of economic activity in summer. An increase in visitor expenditure from AED 850 million in 1998 to AED 2.57 billion in 2006 is a clear indication of the event's ability to drive economic growth during summer. Into its tenth year, Dubai Summer Surprises has come a long way by building on the successes of the previous editions and aims to create a benchmark for future years to provide the three most important characteristics of the event - shopping, winning, and entertainment.
