Loop Monthly Photo COmp

A little friendly rivalry… and a whole lot of creative joy.

Welcome to the Loop Monthly Photo Comp — our new tradition of celebrating the wildly different ways people see the world. Each month we set a theme. You can follow it, bend it, or completely ignore it and go rogue. (But hey, we do love seeing folks push themselves toward the theme. It’s a prompt, not a prison.)

How it works

  1. Enter for $10 per image.
    Feeling bold? Enter up to 3 images per person for now.
    If the comp gets popular, total entries may be capped at 20.
  2. Theme
    Each month has a theme, albeit a loose theme. Check the them out down below. You do NOT have to shoot to the theme, but it is preferred.
  3. Send us your masterpiece.
    Once you’ve purchased a ticket, email your high-resolution JPG via wetransfer.com to olinda@loopartphotospace.com
    Specs:
    • Max 5MB
    • 300dpi
    • Suitable for A3 (longest edge 42cm)
    • 2:3 ratio preferred (perfect for the final 4×6″ print)
    • Keep it PG — no nudity.
    • also, please no photos of children
  4. Deadline:
    Entries close on the 20th of each month.
    After that, we print every entry as a sweet little 4×6″ print and pin them to the Loop Wall for everyone to admire.
  5. Voting:
    Customers vote in-store (and possibly online — we’re trialing this).
    The people decide. Democracy, baby.
  6. Winner:
    Announced on the 25th of the following month, with a glorious spotlight and a $50 Loop voucher to celebrate your triumph.
  7. Collect your print:
    Pop back in after winners are announced and take home your own print.
    (Yes, even if you didn’t win. We still adore you.)
