Holga Blog

Forget Glastonbury, the Tour de France, or even your summer holiday , Light Leaks Magazine brings you the greatest summer event ever….Holgapalooza!

A huge Holga contest, judged by some of the largest names in toy camera photography, and sponsored by a plethora of massive companies, the holgapalooza contest is going to be a fantastic competition.

The best thing is….we have our own category! Holgablog, as sponsors, will be judging a special category entitled ‘WTF’, or ‘The Holgablog award for strangest, most bizarre, and downright WTF photograph.’. If you enter your photographs in any of the main categories, you automatically get entered into the special categories. We will be looking for the weirdest photo submitted, with the photographer winning a Holga TLR…..woooooo!

The prizes for the main categories are astounding, and some of the best ever offered in a toy camera competition, including cash, holgas, film, and gift certificates! There is over $10,000 worth of prizes on offer.

Here’s the brief blurb from the website:

Each year from July to September, photographers from around the world are encouraged to participate in an international contest featuring Holga photography hosted by Light Leaks Magazine and Toycamera.com.

Categories will be presented and submissions will be reviewed by well-respected and internationally renowned judges who will determine winners in each of the categories. Winners will be rewarded with cash and prizes donated by our sponsors as well as have their photos published in Light Leaks magazine.

Holgapalooza will continue to be a champion web site for the Holga camera and all of the photographers around the world who embrace it.

So what you waiting for? Head over to www.holgapalooza.com and take a look at the categories and go and take some photographs! There is a small submission fee to enter, this isn’t for profit, but to cover the prize money, but the prizes are so amazing you will definitely want to enter!
