6th Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show CALL FOR ENTRIES
CALL FOR ENTRIES
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
