The Call for Entries category has been mighty thin due to my refusal to post any that require entry fees, but this one looks decent: Holga, no entry fee, electronic submission. It’s an electronic show that reqires a print donation if your work is accepted.
ATTENTION fine art photographers working with HOLGA cameras!
In December 2006, the Photomedia Center will be featuring artists who have been invited through an open submissions process to exhibit their photography which was created with the assistance of the Holga toy camera. This plastic miracle has produced a track record unexpectedly beatuiful results in the hands of skilled image-makers.
Artists are welcome to submit up to 8 images for consideration for inclusion in the show. Final decisions will be made by the Photomedia Center staff and board of directors. Accepted images will be shown online at www.photomediacenter.org as the featured exhibit of the month and archived online in our "previous exhibitions" section of the site thereafter. There is no cost to enter your work, but if your work is selected, we ask that you donate a print of your image to the Photomedia Center for its permanent collection.
I contacted them to clarify the camera hacking situation, and they replied:
The requirements are pretty open… any image is acceptable as long as it was made in some part and process with a Holga toy camera. Using modified versions of the camera, including lenses, is fine.
