 Holgapalooza is our annual photo contest presented by Light Leaks magazine! This year we've assembled some fantastic judges who have chosen some great themes. And we've had some amazing support by our sponsors to offer some very sweet prizes.
Our three categories and judges are:
1) Roadside Attractions (judge: Ted Orland)
2) Creatures (judge: Meg Birnbaum)
3) Nudes (judge: Francisco Mata Rosas)
For prizes, we have increased our CASH prizes for each place, and we have our sponsors at www.fourcornerstore.com, Holga Inspire and Pro Photo Supply to thank!
First Place - $400 U.S.
Second Place - $250 U.S.
Third Place - $100 U.S.
The product prizes are also absolutely stellar - big ticket items! We also have 3 Honourable Mention placements for each category that will have some nice prizes as well.
Another addition this year are "Regional Prizes", which are gift certificates to photography retailers whose services you can use if you live in that area. We will choose "Best in Show" winners for these regions who will receive the prizes!
Prizes are still coming in, so keep an eye on the web site for updates over the next few days. In the meantime, we're opening up the doors to enter now! We'll be doing weekly early bird draws where you can win:
-Enter by June 6th to win a Gakkenflex TLR
-Enter by June 7th to June 13 to win a Blackbird, Fly
-Enter by June 20th to win a Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim
-Enter by June 27th to win a Holga TIM
Your name will stay in the draw for each raffle, so the earlier you enter, the more draws you can win!
Can you HAVE more reasons to enter? Oh, right - we'll be publishing the winners in the FALL 2010 issue of Light Leaks magazine, and there will also be more online publishing opportunities with Holgablog and The Holga Darkroom
Okay, so that should be enough reasons... right? So head on over to www.holgapalooza.com and get more info, FAQ's, entry information, and submit for the biggest Holga contest going!
