Urban Nomad

On the road.
And off the road.
In the air and on the sea. Underground, round the block, over the hills, and far away.

Whether you’re traveling to the ends of the Earth or the end of the block, we want to see an analog photographic documentary of your comings and goings – and a lot of solid reasons for why the hell you left your doorstep in the first place.

Three Themes For Each Of The Three Weeks

Over the next three weeks, you’ve got three different avenues for documenting your rambling lifestyle each week:

Weekly Prizes
& the GRAND PRIZE

At the end of each week, we’ll announce 15 winners, 5 for every category. The winners will each receive a shiny new Lomographic camera or an Urban Outfitters gift voucher. With three weeks of competition, that’s 45 prizes to be given away!

And that’s not all. From these 45 award-winning snapshots, one Grand Champion will be chosen. Their image will decorate an exclusive photographic wallpaper design for Urban Outfitters, and they’ll get a fat check for $1000.00!

Featured Cameras

We’ll concentrate on a different camera format each week – showcasing a particular view of your nomadic travels. If you stick to the “Featured Camera” format, then you’ll maximize your chances of winning one of the weekly prizes – and the coveted GRAND PRIZE.

Click on the Guidelines page to see the categories and read the specific guidelines for images. Images must be shot with an analog camera (one that uses film!) Any brand or type of analog camera will do. You’ll need clean, hi-res scans of all your photos – and each shot must relate to the corresponding theme.

You’ll also need to sign up with your complete contact information (name, address, e-mail, etc). If you make it to the winners pedestal, we need that to send you your winnings, right?

So get acquainted with everything,
get out of the house, and get started!
