SafeAroundTheWorldChallenge-Part2

From Fmepedia

It's back again! Welcome to the second round of our Safe Around the World Challenge. The first Safe Around the World Challenge, which we launched in June of 2007, has proved extremely popular. Since September, the Challenge page has ranked among the 20 most frequently-viewed pages in fmepedia.

Thanks to the dedication of a few snap-happy folk, we're back with another collection of photos of Safe merchandise "on location" around the globe, proving that Safe supporters really have "been there, done that."

If you already know all about the Safe Around the World Challenge, go ahead and see how you do on this new challenge. If you'd like to learn more about the Challenge, and how you can contribute your photos, you'll find the information you need on our original Safe Around the World Challenge page.
