Photographers working with toy, plastic and pinhole cameras are invited to submit to this famous competition.

In the hands of an artist, great photographs can be made with minimal equipment. We will be searching for extraordinary photographs produced with cameras with lousy lenses. Artists are encouraged to explore this medium and let the creative juices flow while shooting and in the darkroom (wet or digital).

Remember, it’s the Krappy Kamera Competition – not the Krappy print competition.

50 images will be chosen by Daile Kaplan of Swann Galleries for a month long show in Tribeca, New York. A huge reception on March 2 starts the festivities. As a bonus every print submitted will be displayed in our Salon des Refuses gallery – a gigantic floor to ceiling collage.
