July 21, 2006 - Mazda Motor Europe announced today the official start of a Zoom-Zoom photo competition that will run until September this year, with the grand prize of a new Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe. Europeans are encouraged to send in photos of a moment that best expresses Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom philosophy.

“The exhilaration we felt as a child shooting down a hill on our bike, this is what Zoom-Zoom means at its most basic level,” said Masahiro Moro, Vice President for Marketing at Mazda Motor Europe. “And this thrill of movement is what Mazda wants to deliver with every car we design and build. The photo contest’s goal is to capture this ‘emotion of motion’ in a single photograph. It will be a challenge, but worth the effort, since the grand prize winner will get to experience what Zoom-Zoom is on a daily basis with a new MX-5 Roadster Coupe.”
