Competition results with Charlie from Kodak Alaris
First of all, can I thank you all for submitting such amazing work, you all deserve something so you have my gratitude and humble thanks. We also need to thank Charlie and the team at Kodak Alaris for sponsoring this competition, without them we are nothing.
It really does give us great pleasure to look through so many high-quality images, and coming up with a final winner and 2nd place is not easy. So if you remember the theme was “creativity”. The only rules were to submit a maximum of 2 images and had to be shot on Kodak film.

Statistics
So as you heard on the podcast, I kept details of every submission and the film they used. I took this as thought it would be interesting to see what choices people make and Charlie from Kodak Alaris was spot on – clear winner is Portra 400.
If you want to see more of the entries yourself, just use the hashtag #phloggerkodak
There were entries from all over the world and the prizes are going off to Kazakhstan, USA, Hong Kong, Germany and the UK!
FINAL THOUGHTS
After looking through the 100 entries (yes amazing) we selected those above as most of the work was done in the camera and using the ability of the film. Though we have to say there were some very creative ideas too, a few with unique ideas like Calvin and his moving model and of course Valentin with his chicken pictures. We also discuss people like Ned & David Collyer from earlier podcasts and David’s rush to get his entry in at the last minute.
The podcast is definitely recommended to hear the full reasoning behind the shots and here feedback by us both. If you liked the show, don’t forget to share it and leave an iTunes review too!
