#PrintItForward Competition
#PrintItForward Competition

Sometimes things just time themselves perfectly.

I don’t think we share enough of our printed photos. There are too many pixels flying about, which unfortunately don’t come close to the depth of a print. Anyway, back to the idea.

A few weeks ago Mike Fraser made the kind gesture of offering a few freebie prints up on Twitter. I suggested he play a little game and send prints to three people, who in turn send three prints to thee people and so on – in the style of the motion picture, Pay It Forward and jokingly called it #PrintItForward.

 


Around the same time, I was working with Shawn Mozmode to finalize his #EMULSIVE interview and he mentioned that he’d made a few prints and wanted to give them away as part of the piece.

Lightbulb moment.

So here we are. To celebrate Shawn’s interview, we’re giving away three of his prints to winners of a competition detailed below.

The rules are simple. Read his interview and take, or submit a self portrait (somewhat) in keeping with his style. It’s really that simple. Oh, and you have to commit to giving away three prints of your own. They can all be the same, or they can be different, it’s entirely up to you as long as they’re given to three different people.

…of course, if you win, you could take the print and never send anything out but that’s not very nice and you’d be sullying the good name of EMULSIVE, Shawn, the panel of judges and of course, yourself. Don’t be that person.

To take part, simply take a shot (on film), get it developed and scanned, and then post it on Twitter using the hashtag #PrintItForward and tag @EMULSIVEfilm. You can also submit a photo taken any time within the past 12 months. Please also add details of the film and exposure, just make sure it’s a directly posted image and not a link to your website, or Flickr etc.

The competition is open from today until February 29th 2016. That gives you a month to get yourself sorted. Once doors have closed, myself, Shawn and a panel of esteemed judges will confer on the winner. Speaking of Shawn and the panel, here they are:
