THE WINNERS & THE OUTCOME
MON, 24 - SAT, 29 October 2005
www.lomography.com/valencia
We're approaching the exciting end phase of the most grandiose Lomographic Challenge of the year. The invitation to all Lomographers to design their own ultimate greenspaces, and to provide a grandiloquent manifesto for them in the form of 6 images (one for each of the GO BEYOND themes) has been accepted by vast numbers of Lomographers all over the world. There have never been so many photographs submitted to a Lomographic competition before, and the quality is absolutely terrific... Lomographic craftsperson ship par excellence, boundless imagination and utterly unique images.
This has meant long and exciting but exhausting jury sittings here in the Vienna headquarters. But worthwhile, as we can now announce that we indeed have an exceptional winner, Mr. Brian Milo from Chicago , and 49 excellent runners-up.
The complete greenspace Lomography work submitted online, combined with the magnificent work from the 3 events in Buenos Aires , Singapore and London is now ready for display at the greenspace Valencia Festival in Spain from 24 – 29 October 2005. The presentation involves a LomoWall and Lomographic visuals, in conjunction with the range of cultural activities and parties organised for the greenspace festival itself, including a gathering of Lomographers. Excerpts from the programme for the daily City Hunts – totally focusing on searching and discovering the Valencia people's greenspaces – available at www.lomography.com/greenspace. However the full and final details will be announced in situ, in Valencia ! So book your flight, and we'll see you there! |

LAST CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS &
AN INVITE TO THE EXHIBITION OPENING
9 November, 2005 – 26 January, 2006
www.lomography.com/viennais
So, too, for the Lomographic project for the Vienna Architecture Year (Architekturjahr Wien 2005) in collaboration with the Wiener Planungswerkstatt, participants around the globe have produced imagery that does more than justice to the demanding challenge presented by this competition.
The idea was to celebrate the architecture behind the plethora of lifestyles in Vienna, and to invite local residents as well as visitors of the city to pick up the threads that lead here – and find the common ground with places all over the world. The challenge was to imagine Vienna as a different city within Vienna. Similarly, people from other cities in the world were also asked to find the images in their own city that awaken associations with Vienna in their own minds.
The deadline for submissions is 16 October 2005. All images can be viewed in the gallery section at www.lomography.com/viennais.
An exhibition of all the entries from all of the participants is currently being prepared for the Wiener Planungswerkstatt, to which everybody is most heartily invited (9 November, 2005 to 26 January, 2006).
Opening on 8 November, 2005: LomoWall, live visuals and music.

Our fond congratulations go out to spidde. Thanks for your image and enjoy your prize!
THE JURY SAYS: "The chrome tank, wire wheels, little round headlight, old-school dome helmet, and LAID BACK brother with the straw hat make this the most lovely refurbished snap of them all. That punchy contrast, blinding colors, and SMOOTH vignetting is easy on the eyes too." |

We're cruising for those primo double-wide shots that both encompass our full field of vision and steal our hearts right out of our throats. Got a panoramic camera? - then you know the drill. Don't have one? - then get creative with a streaming left-to-right and multiple-exposed Holga series, a few normal 35mm shots done in succession, pasted together, and scanned, a multilens camera moved horizontally, chopped up, and taped into a straight line sequence, or however else you can tease 120 degrees or more onto a single image.
Prize this month: The Horizon Kompakt
This cream-colored dream machine is packing 120 degrees of Panoramic power to S-T-R-E-T-C-H your world across 58mm of film. Hold on tight.
