That information is captured by Nikon Singapore, and currently, we do not know who has been selected.

Will check with Nikon Singapore to see if they are willing to share the names of the selected photogs here.

You can use any camera to shoot, but only Nikon cameras produced images will be allowed to participate in the Nikon's Big Walk contests.

And yes, it's stated on the front page of the registration that it's opened to Nikon camera users ONLY.
