UPDATE 2016-11-30:
In recognition of supply inconsistencies so close to the global release of Instax Mini Monochrome, the judges have decided to extend the deadline until midnight on Sunday December 11th. We’ve had some amazing entries to date and hope this gives those of you who are still waiting for orders to arrive a little bit of breathing space.
 
To celebrate the release of Fujifilm’s Instax Mini Monochrome film, the ever-ready-legendary Dan K has gone all kinds of insane and decided to sponsor a photo competition which gives you – yes, you – the chance to win up to 10 packs of the new black and white instant film.
Not content to leave it at that, he’s also secured a new Leica Sofort (in dapper orange) for the grand prize winner.
You heard that right, you have a chance to win 10 packs of Instax Mini Monochrome and the latest Instax-compatible camera to shoot it with.
Let’s get cracking before the Red Bull wears off.
 
 

The entry requirements

If you’re reading this you’ll probably already be aware of this new film through our very own (world first!) Instax Mini Monochrome review and Dan’s recent dive into some of Instax Mini Monochrome’s more colorful characteristics.
The requirements for entry are brutally simple:

  • Use Instax Mini Monochrome film and an Instax camera (no printers) to create a photograph of something…anything.
  • Take a digital photo, or make a scan of the Instax sheet.
  • Submit up to two photos by midnight (your local time) on November 30th 2016.
  • Wait.

There’s no specific criteria (subject, etc.) for what you should take a photo of and it’s up to you if you take a daytime shot, long exposure, multiple exposure…whatever.
We’re don’t care if your subject matter is serious, funny, melancholy or downright depressing, as long as the photo is one that you took yourself. The main thing is to take and submit images which demonstrate what Instax Mini Monochrome is capable of achieving. Dan’s put together an extensive article covering our criteria here.
If you need help in getting hold of Instax Mini Monochrome, please drop Camera Film Photo a line. They have stock, ship internationally and will also be handling the distribution of prizes.

  • You must be the original author of the image and ensure you have to authority to grant these rights, including any legally required model releases and appropriate location permission. Send copies of these with your email submission. If you submit an image that doesn’t meet this criteria and happen to win a prize, you’ll be disqualified and bad karma will be yours for life.
  • We do not accept photos that depict any illegal or immoral activity, or where someone’s safety has been put in jeopardy. If you submit images of this nature, shame on you and even more bad karma.
  • The competition organisers and judges (EMULSIVE and Dan K), will be the sole deciders on which entries to accept and select.

Everything clear?
Excellent.
