Félicitiations à: OGAE FRANCE!
It was really very tough
competition as you have watched on the video tapes we have sent to your
addresses. So we also should congratulate Finland, Spain, Norway and
the Netherlands for giving us the competitive taste in terms of
"adrenalin" while watching the voting!!!
Dominique
Dufaut from OGAE France has
already contacted me for the 2004 edition of the OGAE Video Contest and
hereby I would like to handover the production of OGAE Video Contest 2004
to Dominique and the French club. I am sure they will do their best for a
better production since they already have many experiences in other OGAE
contests. Good luck, bonne chance... To participate in OGAE Video Contest 2004,
please contact Dominique Dufaut through
