Do you shoot film? Are you looking for an excuse to get out there and do something creative? Do you want someone to send you a roll of film? If so, this might be right up your alley...
Our friends at File Magazine, Coudal Partners, and Flak Photo have put together a not-your-average-contest type of contest. From their site:
...we are asking you to use a film camera to explore Shore's concept of "conscious intentionality." Broadly speaking, we are challenging you to do two things: articulate a concept, project, or theme and then use a film camera to photograph the images to accompany it. There are, then, two parts: creating the idea and then acting on it. Sound interesting? Well, there is a catch (or two), and if you are interested, here are the rules...
Check out their site for all the details... The 36 Exposures Challenge

Is it open to photographers outside the US?

Our Leica User Community does this annually for the last four years, as part of a big meet-up held in a different city each year. We do a slightly abridged version: it's called the One Challenge - you declare your camera, lens, and film type (or ISO if you're going to be shooting digital) and then you get three hours (after lunch but before bar-time) to go and shoot the City in which we're meeting. Every participant puts €10 into the winner purse. A few weeks later everyone submits one shot, which gets posted in a voting thread anonymously. Then all members (whether they participated or not) get to vote on their top 3. The winner takes the pot of cash.
Too bad the 36 Exposure group is excluding digital photographers... I disagree with their assessment of digital being over-shot and indiscriminate, but that may be because I shoot with a dRF, not a dSLR.
