The Great Lomo LC-A Race: Stage One ended 4 months ago
written by kazarareta on July 7th, 2009 , 60 submissions , 27 comments (5 votes)

The gears are turning and the wheels are in motion for The Great Lomo LC-A Race! We are all waiting for the ten teams’ different Location entries to wow us on each turn but the buck doesn’t stop there. Each team has ten secret missions for each stage of the race and now, it’s time to unveil the first task!

Stage One Mission: Show your Local Flavor!

Parade the gustatory delights that’s undeniably local. Is it a hotdog stand that’s been at the corner street for 50 years? Or a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that serves more than exotic cuisine? Show us what makes your place tick! The winning photo will bag 50 Piggy Points to be split to all members of your team (5 Piggy Points each). So be sure to cheer on your team’s participant from afar, as it’s a win-win for all!

Meet our Race Jury and read up on further race clarifications!

  • Prize(s): 50 Piggy Points split to members of the team with the winning photo (or photo set)
  • Film/Camera Type: Only shots taken with the supplied race Lomo LC-A unit during the time period of July 7, 2009 – July 21, 2009 – Participants should turn over cameras to the next participant by July 21, 2009 but submissions for the first mission are allowed until July 28. Only participants of the Lomo LC-A Race are allowed to submit in this rumble.

    If I'm not mistaken the lomograph above is the one I took when I was in Kupang, West Timor, Indonesia. It is about slices of beef being dried under the sun before being cooked into a local specialty dish.

    This mission seems to be a very exciting opportunity for cultural exchange. I look forward to seeing great photos featuring local flavors and learn about cultures in other places.
    To all team racers, lomo on!

    i am so angry on myself, that i missed the call for team building!!! if there's a problem at the european team, please let me know - I can change some of the team members, if it is needed! :) got a lot of location ideas and like this competition so much!

    haha the lc-a race has started midaway through my family vacation in mallorca so my locations will be very spread out.

    so can we upload multiple locations or 10 photos for the same location?

  • vtayeh

    Do all the shots have to be uploaded BEFORE the two week deadline? Also, do all the locations have to be uploaded before the two week dealine as well?

    Is the deadline really correct? My lab won't x-pro more than 2 rolls between every 40 regular rolls (to save the chemistry), so I'll need 1-2 weeks for the development...
    I thought we had 14 days to shoot and then we would have a reasonable amount of time to get the films developed, scanned and submitted... You really should re-consider this deadline if it's not a typo...

    My lab now takes around a week to do xpro as well meaning I will have to shoot all my locations in a week or less for my leg of the race to be sure to submit in time. Seems like a stretch to have all the rolls shot, developed and scanned with written locations in such a short time.

    Yeah you might want to send out another message stating when everything has to be uploaded by and set everyone straight about when the photos need to be posted by....

    good luck to everyone!

    yep. that's what I was worried about, too. I would love to have 2 full weeks to shoot, and maybe a week or so to have the films developed and to scan the neg, upload on the website, write the location and such. I mean, that's a LOT of work!

    @everyone: we'll be discussing this and will get back to an answer ASAP! :)

  • kazarareta

    @everyone - we added an additional week for submissions, but this is the maximum we could give, else the race will drag on too long. Everyone should still send over the camera to the next participant by July 21, 2009 though.

    the following missions would also have an additional week for the submission deadline, so we hope this helps with all of your photo and data processing! :)
