2022 International Krappy Kamera

The 2022 International Krappy Kamera is a photography competition open to all photographers 18 years and older, excluding members of the Soho Photo Gallery. The competition seeks extraordinary photographs made with lousy lenses, such as Holga, Diana, Ansco, and pinhole cameras. You can also create your own Krappy Kamera by using a non-Krappy camera (e.g., 4x5, SLR, DSLR) and exchanging the lens with a Krappy lens (e.g., pinhole body cap or Holga-type lens). Cell phones, disposables, and point-and-shoot cameras are ineligible. The lens is the determining factor. There is no limitation as to subject matter.

Submissions must include 5 to 15 images. The entry fee is $45.00 plus a $5.00 media fee. The juror is Debra Klomp Ching, co-owner of the Klompching Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, and a freelance consultant, writer, curator, and educator.

Winning photographs must be framed and wired for hanging. Maximum height or width (including frame) for exhibited work cannot exceed 48 inches. Packing and delivery instructions will be emailed to winners. Photographs not suitably prepared will be excluded. The event dates are 11/30/21 - 1/9/22.
