Black & White Film Photography Contest!

Black & White Photography – it’s complex, yet conveys emotion with ease.  It’s like the universal language of photography which is perfect since this contest is open to worldwide submissions.  We want to see black & white film photography that conveys emotion, that moves us, that tells a story like only a black & white photo can.   Portraits, candids, street, landscape, etc – if it’s black & white film, it counts!

This contest will run March 9th through April 30, 2018, and is open worldwide! 

Want to win a sweet film camera from our Camera Bar?!  All you have to do is post one of your black & white film photos on your Facebook wall or on your Instagram.  Be sure to tag us, use the #TheDarkroomLab_BW18, explain the photo well in the caption, and tell us the film type, the camera used, and where you got it developed (hopefully The Darkroom!). *You are limited to one submission.  If multiple photos are posted we will only consider the first submission.

Good luck!!!

Camera Prizes

Since we’re opening our contests to the whole world, we wanted to reward our loyal customers as well so we made a Grand Prize category for The Darkroom Preferred customer.  A Darkroom Preferred customer is someone who has made an order in the past 6 months.  Any Darkroom Preferred customer that makes it into the top three will get to bump up a prize category.  So if you take 3rd, you can pick from the 2nd place cameras, 2nd, you can from the 1st, and if you take first, you can pick from the grand prize category!
