So I have some points I don't want. I also run a small group dedicated to two things I love: street photography and mobile phones.

:iconmobilestreet:

Why not hold a contest there to encourage artists to use their mobile phone as a photographic tool?

I contacted a deviant friend of mine who I know is into the same thing and asked if he wanted to help out, `straightfromcamera founder of the :iconhipstamatic: group.

He threw in some more points, offered to help judge, and said he'd feature the winner.

So here we go.

Rules:

  1. Photos MUST be taken with a mobile phone.

  2. Photos must be of the street or street portraiture genres

  3. in-line/real-time photo processing is allowable, such as shooting through Hipstamatic for iPhone or retroCamera for Android. Post-processing is NOT allowed.

  4. Photos can be taken between now and March 31

  5. Please include all relevant information, such as phone model and imaging software used



Winners will recieve:

  • 500 points (more if points are donated)

  • A feature in :iconmobilestreet: and :iconhipstamatic:


Current prizes courtesy of `straightfromcamera, `bQw and =EricForFriends. If you are interested in donating a prize, please contact `bQw.

To Enter, submit your mobile phone images to the "Contest 250" folder in the #MobileStreet group. You must be a member to submit.

You can see examples of mobile phone street photography in both the :iconmobilestreet: and :iconhipstamatic: galleries. I also have a personal collection going on my blog here: [link] .

Retrocamera does not work in my android. I downloaded it and started to run it and then it just... freezes! D:

I just have to look how I can submit it to the right folder.
Is it open for entries already?

Hey nice idea for a contest ^^
I just wanted to ask if only one entry is allowed of if I could send in for example three entries?

Multiple entries are allowed within the domain of reason. Please be sure to submit them to the correct folder and follow the other rules with each image, though.
