Advertisement Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Hi blueeyesagain, Take a look here Kodak Portra Competition. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
thetoaster Posted June 29, 2011 Share #2 Posted June 29, 2011 I don't see the specific competition you're mentioning, but these competitions drive me up a wall. For the price of some token prize, they get traffic drawn to their site in order to see other people's content. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted June 29, 2011 Share #4 Posted June 29, 2011 Wot, no terms and conditions...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticman Posted June 29, 2011 Share #5 Posted June 29, 2011 Wot, no terms and conditions...? Maybe they're hidden somewhere on that photographycompetitions.net website, that seems to organize these sorts of things across different sites and blogs. At least there doesn't appear to be any entry fee - some of the 'competitions' I've seen in the past include a $20 or so fee, and the prize is worth maybe $200. Over ten entrants and it's just a risk-free extra income source for the hoster, in other words. Anyway, I have 2 rolls of the old Portra 400NC that I haven't used since the new (much better) version has been available. If it doesn't cost too much to post, I can stick them in an envelope to anyone who wants them. Let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whois search showed that the owner of the site was non other that the person announcing the competition. All rather embarrassing really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On reflection, what I should have said in my post, is this: "For YOUR chance to WIN two SUPER-DUPER rolls of Kodak Portra400NC, send me your $5 entry fee, and I will put YOUR name into my UNIQUE film lottery!!"

plasticman Posted June 29, 2011 Share #9 Posted June 29, 2011 Funny to see that websites are having competitions for 10 rolls of Portra, but I can't give away 2 rolls for free... I might stick them in the CL and go for a walk around town. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
