It’s the start of April which means ANOTHER new LOMOGRAPHY competition. This time to win a lovely little Diana Mini. CUTE! However the end of April also brings the end of the Lomo Pop-up in Selfridges so we give with one hand and take with another. Anyway that is still a cool 4 weeks to enjoy these VERY nice cameras and the lomo workshops.
WIN
During April you can win one of these lovely Diana Mini cameras.
The Diana Mini has big shoes to fill being the little sister of the classic beauty Diana F+. Luckily the “Mini” was born a star in her own right. Super sweet, the Diana Mini has got plenty of style and features to the nines. With the flick of a little switch you can move from the retro square format to the amazing Half-Frame, giving you the ability to Shoot Forever, packing 72 shots onto one 35mm film! Her handy-dandy size and limitless creative potential is a revolution in analogue photography.
TO ENTER
For a chance to win one of these cameras please email competitionsuk [@] lomography.com with the word FUSED in the subject box. At the end of each month Lomography will randomly pick one entry from that month to win a camera.
However, never fear as everyone’s a winner! You can get 10 piggy points (£10) to spend in the lomography online shop when you sign up for your very own lomohome with this link.

Boasting over a half-million members across the world, the concept of Lomography encompasses an interactive, vivid, blurred and crazy way of life. Through our constantly expanding selection of innovative cameras & photographic accessories, we promote analogue photography as a creative approach to communicate, absorb, and capture the world. Through the efforts and skill of our Lomographic Society members, we seek to document the incredible planet around us in a never-ending stream of snapshots – literally a global “Lomographic” portrait as seen through the eyes of countless individuals and cultures.
