Design the LOMO LC-A+ Your Way!

Still part of our LOMO LC-A 25th Anniversary Celebrations, we’re giving all you design-minded analogue heads the opportunity of the lifetime! Your task is to create a custom skin for the legendary LOMO LC-A+. Design it with any medium you want, but keep in mind that the winning entry is meant for mass production! With your efforts, we are giving out unarguably one of the best prizes we’ve had for a Rumble ever – read on!

The Grand Prize

A life-changing opportunity to see your design concept transformed into a limited edition LOMO LC-A+ and sold all over the world!

  • Priceless exposure in the design field.
  • A 3-day trip to the Lomography HQ in Vienna. Hotel and flight included.
  • 5 of your self-designed LOMO LC-A+ cameras.
  • Runners-up will see their design concepts in a future newsletter, gallery and who knows – an exhibit of the best works!

Submission Details

  • Download the LOMO LC-A+ camera template here.
  • Cut it out like a paper camera.
  • Use your creativity – customise the paper camera and send us the pictures!
  • Upload your customised templates to this rumble page (if they’re in JPG format) or send it by post in all its analogue splendour to the Lomography Vienna HQ.
  • If you’re sending your entries in PDF format please send them directly to adrian.bilek@lomography.com
  • Entries should be original, and should not contain any elements of copyrighted material.
  • You could submit as much entries as you can – creativity is key to winning this competition!
  • By submitting your entries, you allow Lomography to use submissions for promotional purposes. Entries with no initial physical submissions may be asked to send over their mock-ups as needed.
  • Competition ends January 10th, 2010 MN.

The Jury

A jury will go through all the entries and contact the best ones who will then work with the Lomography Design team to see if their customisation concept could become a reality! Up and coming designers are encouraged to submit their entries – this is one opportunity that you shouldn’t miss!

    so cool.
    but can you clarify the dates: "end in about a month" or "competition ends in Jan 10, 2010"?
    and i assume there's no submission limit?

  • kazarareta
    by kazarareta

    @boredbone - comp. ends in Jan 10, must be something wrong with our rumble timer at the moment. There's also no submission limit but you might be asked to have the mock-ups ready in case the jury would like them.

    Exactly which areas of the camera are customisable? (Besides the obvious ;)

  • by _xarone
    3 months ago

    to submit the entries, can we just scan the template and submit? Or do we need to fold it into a camera and take a picture of it?

    just a moment on your questions, will clarify :)

  • kazarareta
    by kazarareta
    3 months ago

    ok so here's some clarifications:

    - If you're sending your entries in PDF format please send them to adrian.bilek@lomography.com
    - It would be best to printout/fold the camera and take a picture of it
    - as for the customizable areas of the template you could go crazy with it, the jury will be suggesting revisions if ever we pick your entry(ies) for the shortlists!

    Rather than design an LCA I decided to use the template to build pinhole cameras - the first one I built was tested yesterday and took some great panoramic pictures. I have built Mk 2 & 3 today. Mk 2 is abit bigger and Mk3 is a triple pinhole. Will test them soon. Anywhere I can upload my photos?

    @sedate25 - adrian must have got them, he just doesn't have the time probably to manually send a confirmation mail. :) good luck to everyone!

  • kazarareta

    @jonasfx: the decisions will be decided upon entirely under a jury; as we need to make sure that the winning design's feasible for production, and that there's no vote-hogging and all sorts of stuff. :)

    Does anyone know when the winners will be announced? There are lots of fab designs!
