The Details:
The coordinators of the eleventh annual Worldwide Pinhole Photography
Day
are busy preparing for this upcoming major global festival. It will be
the
traditional last Sunday in April; the next one will be April 24, 2011.
Anyone, anywhere in the world, who makes a pinhole photograph on
Pinhole
Day, can scan the image and upload it to the www.pinholeday.org
website
where it will become part of the premier gallery of lensless
photography.
In 2011, Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is the same day as the
Easter
holiday; for 2011 only, we will accept pinhole photographs taken
between
April 23 and May 1. The deadline for submitting photos to the gallery
will
continue to be 24:00 GMT on May 31.

Last year, 3449 participants from 70 countries contributed images to
the
WPPD 2010 Gallery. Over 150 events - workshops, exhibits, lectures,
etc. -
were held throughout the world. All of these events were coordinated
locally
by volunteers.

If you don't have this celebration marked on your calendar please do
it
soon! Join the world in this joyous celebration of simple photography.

HOW YOU CAN HELP...
- We are looking for help with our publicity efforts in various
countries
and regions. These local or regional coordinators would be part of the
team
that our Publicity Coordinator, Paolo Aldi, is assembling to spread
the word
about our sublime, yet joyously wacky, annual pinhole exhibit. Mostly
this
would be emails to publications, schools, galleries and other groups
in your
area. If you would like to help with this effort, please contact
publicity
at publ...@pinholeday.org.

- If you'd like to organize an event, such as a workshop, lecture or a
photo
shoot, you can add it to the events calendar at www.pinholeday.org/events
or
contact events at eve...@pinholeday.org. An event can be as simple as
a
pinhole excursion with friends or interested photographers, or it can
be a
workshop or exhibit. Check the "Workshop Resources" documents on the
Pinhole Day Resource page for ideas.

- If you are a teacher, your students can participate in WPPD as a
group.
To do this, enter your class's participation as an event at
www.pinholeday.org/events or contact events at eve...@pinholeday.org.
Choose "classroom" as the type of event. Your class will be listed as
a
"group" in the gallery. When your class is selected from the group
list, it
will create a virtual exhibit of your students' work.

- If you are a graphic designer... we're interested in suggestions for
a
new, or alternative, logos. Please submit your ideas to
sup...@pinholeday.org.

Another major holiday is in the works for April 24, 2011! We all look
forward to your photograph in the 2011 gallery.
