Everywhere you go to, there's always a contest or a thread about your best shot taken in the past year. We're going to change things up a bit and add a dash of humor to the start of the year. Bring your worst!
First of all, let’s make things clear for a moment. This LomoMission doesn’t want to embarrass or humiliate anyone. On the contrary, this Mission seeks to show that we are all human and we all make mistakes. Did you leave the bulb mode on your Holga while shooting in direct sunlight? Forgot your lens cap on the Fisheye? Shot in low light with the LOMO LC-A+ while your hands are shaking? We’ve all been there!
So what is your worst shot taken for 2010? Show us and tell the story of the shot in the description and get a chance to win a whopping 150 Piggies to start the New Year right. Good luck!
- Prize(s): 1 winner of 150 Piggy Points.The winner will also receive a special award badge straight to their LomoHomes
- Film/Camera Type: Any analogue photo not digitally enhanced or manipulated
- Upload Limit: 5 photos
- Minimum Photo Dimensions: Submissions must be at least 768px in either width or height.

cruzron
@all - yes we would like something from 2010 please. but if you already submitted an old one, just make sure the story will entertain us :D
cruzron

mintography
I uploaded 7 before I realized it said five and now the mistake is fixed but I still have seven submitted. What will happen?
nelemson
coolest contest ever!!! for me!!! haha!
I wish no limit on entries so I can submit all my photos!! :))
stonerfairy
make money with your worst photo
ingwaybee
@mintography you will be disqualified! Mwahaha! I joke, I joke, I kid, I kid... They would probably just pick five from the seven. :)
ingwaybee
I think I could easily win this. The submissions I've looked through actually look quite artistic even if they didn't turn out exactly how the lomographers wanted. My worstlomographs however are embarrassingly bad...

"Forgot your lens cap on the Fisheye?" Literally
adrienne-is
I just submitted my final two shots for this one. It was soooooo painful for me to upload them. They are terrible. In fact looking through all the competition entries is a sight for sore eyes. Good luck everyone. I'd hate to be the judge of this competition.

pattyequalsawesome
I have to win this! Hahaha! :D
brixwillbeshat
Wow, guys, I'm surprised by just how not terrible you guys' shots are! xD
I can easily find something for this one; I really could choose any shot from my first two rolls and three-fourths of the time I would have something that might win this!

When I first got my holga I was a mess. All double exposures or I would forget the lens cap so I'm like the MIP of lomo! I came a long way!
tallgrrlrocks
same with me...I tend to leave the lens cap ON a lot, not to mention the darn B-setting forgetfulness...
isabelbatteria
I wrote Lomography weeks ago to know whether it was possible to erase submissions, since I submitted the same photo twice by accident, but still haven't received an answer from them. Does someone know how to do it? Thanks!!
