This is a shout-out to anyone and everyone who shoots with a Holga – or any plastic/pinhole/makeshift/homemade/polaroid/holgaroid/shoebox camera for that matter!
We are looking for photographers from around the globe to be featured in our POTM section. Entering is simple, fast and easy. Simply find us on Twitter, follow us (if you aren’t already doing so), and send us a Direct Message with your website address by midnight tonight MST (September 7th, 2010).
We will then select the next photographer to be featured in POTM on Holgablog – you will be contacted when your name is selected and you will be asked to submit a 350-500 word write-up about you, your work, your favorite image/camera, whatever you want. In your piece, you will be able to showcase a small handful of your favourite shots, as well as promote your work by including your web site address and any/all social media accounts you wish for folks to find. Your tale will be at the top of the POTM list for one full month so that you get maximum exposure, and so that everybody can see your wonderful art!
Sounds like something you might be interested in doing? Once again, all you need to do is follow us on Twitter, then Direct Message us your web site address before midnight tonight MST (September 7th, 2010). Your entry will also be kept for future POTM consideration, in case yours isn’t the first name chosen.
We’re looking forward to seeing your entry!
Love,
The Holgablog Family

I’m not on twitter & just came across this article. It’s 9:18pm Hawaii time so I’m not sure if it makes the cut. Here’s may amateur journey . . . myamericana.us. Mahalos.
Thanks for your entry, Bobby! It has been taken into consideration with the other entries.
Thanks so much everyone for your interest – we received lots of entries and had a great time going through everyone’s sites and seeing all your different work!
While it was a tough choice, we finally made our decision of who will be our next featured Photographer of the Month (but you will all have to wait until it is posted to see who it is!) – IN FACT, we chose a small handful of entrants to be POTM’s in the coming months as well! Those chosen will be contacted to go over the details, so keep watching in case we are trying to get in touch with you!
And in case you missed out on the chance to enter this round, do not dismay as we will be looking again in the future for more of our awesome readers to be featured as POTM on Holgablog.com. You will have another opportunity to enter for the chance to showcase your work here.
Thanks again!
The Holgablog Family
I am not on Twitter either. I think you should add a non-Twitter way of introducing photographers.
We will have other opportunities in the near future to enter from this site, facebook as well as twitter.
so keep watching!
