Habemus Victores Lomographicus

 

Just like we started informing you here, and we reminded you about here and we reminded you again here (you can't say we haven't given it hype...), The Cosmonaut team had the good idea of organizing, together with our friends of Lomospain, a lomographic contest. The aim of the contest was to be able to find the lomographies which best captured the universe described in The Cosmonaut script, in which a Soviet cosmonaut finds himself trapped in a desolate Earth.

First of all, here's our utter gratitude to all participants. Thanks to you, the call for entries has been a resounding success: we have received over 400 lomographies which will be under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license. With your participation, you have contributed to enrich the universe surrounding the project and to give it an imagery which is now at the disposal of all of us. 

Et voilà... the party of the second part. As we informed you a few days ago, we have at last found enough courage to undertake the always difficult task of deciding the winners. Hey, we didn't even have the time to celebrate the INVI thing (may all of you get a guilty conscience). So, after the meeting between Pasquale Caprile (lomographic ambassador in Spain), Nicolás Alcalá (director of The Cosmonaut) and Carlos Martínez-Abarca (the one and only Mr. Arsenievich himself), this is the way things are...

IMPORTANT: Now it's your turn. You have to show your leg under the door, that is, you have to contact us (hola@elcosmonauta.es). And if you are in the commendations list, indicate which t-shirt and size you want. Also, the first three awards must send their negatives via traditional mail or take them to the Lomography Embassy Store Echegaray, to confirm that we can give those negatives to them at the ceremony award.

We are waiting for your reply... and you are waiting for the announcement of the fantabulous event in which the ceremony award will take place. We'll specify where in a few days. See you then!
