DESCRIPTION
This competition is open to artists working with plastic cameras with plastic lenses. The more obsolete, flawed, and lo-tech, the better. Images should be taken with cameras with limited controls, such as Diana, Holga, Lubitel, Lomo, Banner, and Ansco cameras. Beautiful prints from less-than-gorgeous cameras – that’s what we’re looking for! This is RayKo’s largest exhibition of the year with artists from all over the globe submitting work, and hundreds of attendees at the reception.
PRIZES
Best of Show – $400 cash prize and 4 Honorable mention juror awards.
Square Magazine will be publishing the first 10 winners in a special toy camera issue in March!
Square Magazine is a quarterly online publication dedicated to the square photographic format. It is multilingual, free and utterly devoid of rectangles.
Check out www.squaremag.org and be bowled over.
