1. Lomography & Urban Outfitters have teamed up for a globe-spanning photo contest
  2. Define yourself through five revealing submission themes
  3. Win the Grand Prize – a trip to the Lomographic World Congress 2007 in London!
  4. Way over 100 Lomographic cameras will also be awarded as prizes. Get your hands on one!

Show us. (And everybody else, while you’re at it). Over the next four weeks we want to see your life in pictures. Pick up your camera and get down to business. Stop thinking and start shooting — out on the streets, up the block, in your room. We want to see you at your best, but more importantly at your most creative, your most ironic, your smartest, your most original, and most surprising. “Be yourself.” But who the hell is that?

Lomography and Urban Outfitters are dying to know. And we’re ready, willing, and able to lavishly reward the best, most stunning, and most “tell-all” of your images. Each week, the crew from Lomo and from Urban Outfitters will scour through the entries and pick the 30 most amazing images from the pack. Those 30 winners will receive a brand new Lomographic camera — valued from $38.00 to up to $500. With four weeks to compete, that’s 120 prizes in all!

And it doesn’t stop there. From this batch of esteemed winners, one Grand Champion will be chosen and flown to London for the Lomography WorldCongress 2007! On top of all that, the winning images (and quite a few others) will be integrated into LomoWall displays and proudly shown in 7 select Urban Outfitters stores this coming Fall.

As always, you’ll need to be fast, as there’s only four weeks to submit your finest photos. They have to be taken with a Lomographic camera and they have to be absolutely mind-blowing. Digging through your archives is all well and good, but take this time to get out there and shoot a few new masterpieces. Show us who you really are!

Schedule
The contest will run in 2007 from August 6th through August 31st – with the grand winner announced on September 3rd . That ain't much time, so you better get cracking!

From the unbelievable to the profoundly ordinary, we're looking for the story of your life. But your life is complicated right? So we thought up five themes to break it down.

  1. Your Spot
    What's your scene? Show us where you're at.
  2. Sounds Like…
    Show us your soundtrack. What do you hear when you first wake up? While you're getting dressed? Going out? How about when you finally call it a night?
  3. Me, Myself and I
    What makes you, you? Show your face. Make an appearance. Show us how you wear it, where, and with what.
  4. Best Friends
    Show some love for those that make it all worthwhile — the people, the pets and the personal treasures that accompany your daily adventures.
  5. It's the Little Things
    Buttons, keychains, inside jokes, midnight snacks, guitar picks, pointed shoes, and happy accidents. We want details!

From September 17th to September 23rd , we will hold the most sensational Lomographic event to date in London , England . The Grand Prize winner will receive airfare, hotel accommodations, and full admission to the Congress events (including photo rallies, competitions, lectures, and really fantastic dinners). The Grand Prize winner will be chosen from the four weekly first place winners.
