Hate to do it again, but as pointed out the winner 'Feel Real NZ Scenery' is too close to RealNZ.

Although no one voted for Postcards from New Zealand, I'm growing to really like the name and others agree, so I included it. The reason I like it is because it's different and intriguing - and therefore stands a better chance to get noticed by the overseas crowd. As Richard said we don't need another acronym especially one ending with X! While I also like Scenenz and Free NZ (I also liked NZAir which got no votes though), Free is the obvious choice and besides, Free NZ (Scenery) sounds a bit like a political statement (like Free Mandela in the 80s).

Let's get this name business over and done with. Afterall we're here do create some scenery!

I'm still going for FRENZY, for the simple fact people remember the acronym more than the name. Perfect example - a lot of people won't remember what KFC actually stands for.

Same with VOZ - most people I think will think it means Virtual OZ, and not VistaOZ (or do I have that the wrong way around) either way - I think FRENZY is catchy.

I would suggest taking the space out and making it FreeNZ.... that way you can just shorten it to frenz (sounds like friends)

I went with Frenzy (Free NZ scenery)...This covers all the bases (How much, where, what) as well as having a catchy name which will help with marketing.

For me:
SceneNZ...nice title which covers the 'Where', but the word 'scene' is a bit ambiguous: It could mean a landscape photo, theatre stage design or ???? to the total layman/non FS person

FreeNZ...again, doesnt mention 'what' the product is....

PostCards From NZ: "So, you guys are going to make postcards?".....
