I just noticed a competition over at http://www.iloverangefinders.com to win 10 rolls of portra if you send your best rangefinder pics

 

Anyone know of any other competitions where film is the prize ?

 

The price of provia has gone up quite a bit , and im not too keen on ektar even though it is quite cheap compared to.

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.

I think it was on the gallery page :)

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.

We had a member a while ago promoting such a competition here. A whois search showed that the owner of the site was non other that the person announcing the competition. All rather embarrassing really.

Yeah I remember that. 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!!"
