Lomography

Give us your best shots of 'Americana' and being On The Road, for a chance to win the prize of a lifetime!

Are you mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, and also mad to shoot? Desirous of snapping photos of everything at the same time? Do you just burn, burn, burn through film like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky? Then we’ve got the adventure for you!

We’ve teamed up with IFC Films & Sundance Select’s On The Road for a post modern odyssey of a competition! Capture the freedom of the road in up to 10 analog photos for a chance to win. There’s a lot at stake, so let’s get inspired first!

First of all, On The Road is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries) and based on the iconic novel by Jack Kerouac. On The Road tells the timeless story of Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young writer whose life is shaken and ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a free-spirited, fearless, fast talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou (Kristen Stewart). Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of “it” — the pure essence of experience. Seeking uncharted terrain and the last American frontier, the duo encounter an eclectic mix of men and women — Bull (Viggo Mortensen), Camille (Kirsten Dunst), Carlo (Tom Sturridge), Jane (Amy Adams), Terry (Alice Braga), Galatéa (Elisabeth Moss) – each impacting their journey indelibly.

Now that you’ve got that spirit intact, let’s take a look at the near generation defining prizing!
