Eeek! There's only one day left to sign up for this year's PHOTOMARATHON event. Taking place on Saturday 20th June, PHOTOMARATHON is part photographic competition, part endurance test! Registered participants meet up bright and early at 10am at Cardiff's Millennium Centre where they are given a 12 exposure film and sent on their merry way to shoot 12 different topics over 12 hours. All you need is a 35mm camera and the stamina for a day long improvisational photo jolly! The topics are kept secret and revealed every four hours. Each entrant must personally collect the set of topics from HQ and have their entry card stamped to proove attendance. There's plenty of room for interpretation and creativity and imagination is far more important than technical ability. At the end of the day all the films are collected for processing and printing and a panel of judges will meet to pick the winners. Prizes on offer are a CANON 1000D Digital SLR with 18-55mm lens, photobook vouchers and enlargments of your prints. But my favourite part is that every single photo taken on the day will go on show at a free public exhibition... lots and lots of photos! Entry is £15 and you can sign up here.
they did something like that at the gallery i worked in back home, except it was called foto safari. i never managed to take part, i was always doing something that weekend. x

I've wanted to do this ever since it began but have always been busy on the day so I'm super excited to finally be free! Only having 12 shots makes me nervous though... x
