  4. What camera can I use? Can I use more than one?
    Although this project was created initially to highlight the works of lomographers, all participants are welcome to use any number of non-lomographic film or digital cameras. The majority of our returning participants are lomographers who favour cameras like the LC-A, Holga, and Fisheye. Over the years, we have also seen interesting images shot on Polaroid cameras, digital compacts, and disposables.

  6. Am I allowed to use software to post-process my images?
    As the images are meant to be 'documents' of your shoot, only cropping and minimal colour-correction are allowed. You may, however, cross-process your film, do multiple exposures, or use flashes and filter to 'alter' the look of your shot. As long as it's captured 'in camera', that's fine.

  7. How many images do I submit?
    Please submit a minimum of 10 images. This gives the curators more to choose from.

  11. How are images selected for the gallery? Any tips on getting selected?
    There is no secret formula to getting your image published on our gallery. Every year we receive dozens of amazing images, and many of these, though interesting and well-taken, are not selected. What we like to see are effort and a sense of adventure. Experiment and have fun with your camera and subject. We also like images that give us a sense of what your part of the world is like on Oct 24.

  12. What do you do with the submissions collected over the years?
    We are currently archiving all submissions, including images that were not selected for the gallery. We have tentative plans to hold a retrospective showcase in the near future, and will be in touch with our participants once we have more details.

  13. Do I need to give up the rights to my images?
    All participants retain the rights to their images, so it is important that you only submit images that belong to you. Also, by participating in the project, you are allowing us free use of your submissions in our galleries and on materials (webpages, emailers, publications etc) for the purpose of showcasing and publicising this project. We cannot, however, be held liable for any copyright infringement that may occur due to misuse by third-party persons.
