It’s easy to be enchanted with Europe. At every turn, there are pieces of history ready to fascinate you, in the form of grand structures and astonishing art! What makes Europe so special to you? With its remarkable heritage, it’s challenging to name just one!
With this special rumble you can proudly show us the charm that Europe brings to the world. Winners will get the chance to take home some Piggy points that can be used in the online Shop, as well as have their images exhibited in the grand Photokina exhibition! As you know, Photokina is a phenomenal trade fair relating to photography and the imaging industry. Help us showcase the wonders of analogue photography in its full glory at this grand show!
To increase your chances in winning, pinpoint your shots on the map using the geo-tagging function. And while you’re at it, help us expand our locations and identify as many places as possible by submitting to the LomoLocations!
How does this work?
Below you’ll find five categories. Enclosed in the brackets is the tag:
- Nature & Animals (nature)
- Cities & Architecture (city)
- People (people)
- Cuisine (food)
- Home & Living (home)
Upload and tag your photo/s according to category. For example, a picture of a European city would have the tag: “city”.
Please note that this isn’t limited to photos taken in Europe! Let’s say you have a picture of a friend enjoying a platter of croissants, you can submit those too! The key is to tag them appropriately, and use our geo-tagging feature to pinpoint your shots to the map.
