It's time to get vain!
It's time to get vain! Don't worry, we aren't going to give you a moral lecture, scold you with a pointed index finger or teach you a lesson from our Sunday bible. No! We're appealing to your bold self-admiration; show us how borderline narcissistic you can be - your style, your vanity, your golden side. Boast about your success story, be it the oodles of ice-cream you devoured last night; the hip new makeover you gave Grandma; the trendy sneakers that nearly brought you to financial ruin; your cheeky little hamster ... no secret shall remain hidden!
OK, now we didn't want to fawn all over you by ourselves, so we decided to collaborate on this with Canada's Germain Group. The first prize is an invitation to the Germain Group's brand new, decadently-designed ALT Hotel (www.althotels.ca) in Montreal, where you will be the VIP.
The contest results will be exhibited on a LomoWall at the Alt Hotel opening on September the 17th 2007.
Enough talk, grab your cameras and get going!!
Categories:
1. "Today, you are the VIP."
Friday night. Your outfit - dressed to kill. A last look in the mirror before you get the party started in your favourite lounge - hotter than hot!
Present yourself from your best side - have the stylish night owls stop in awe as you strut through the streets that are your catwalks. You are the VIP!
But don't forget the trendsetters around you!
2. "Your moment to shine!"
Everyone, even those too humble to admit it, has felt like Napoleon at one point or another.
Show us what makes your chest swell in pride - be it the matchbox house you constructed all by yourself or the trendy new hairstyle you gave your dog - we want to be proud of you!
3. "I love gold"
What makes your mouth water? What makes your heart skip a beat?
Uncover your secrets and show us how you can be seduced. Is it an unplanned road trip? The shy look from the front desk clerk? Or a pair of fiery red lips?
We want to know all about it! No taboos
