Call for Entries - 3rd Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show

3rd Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show
Deadline for submissions - January 5, 2010

Located in San Francisco, RayKo Photo Centers 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. Beautiful prints from less-than-gorgeous cameras – that’s what we’re looking for!

"Best of Show" receives a $250 cash prize. There are also four additional juror awards: honorable mentions receive plastic cameras of your choosing.
