The Holgon with electronic shutter is not an approved Holga camera. We want all Holga photographers to use the same camera. We feel the electronic shutter takes away from the Holga camera spirit.
Also, we do not accept Holga lenses on SLR or DSLR cameras. You must use a Holga camera that includes the standard body and lens together.
If your Holga camera model is not listed, please contact us.
Current Photos
Only photos taken during Holga Week (October 1-7) of the current year are accepted. We don’t want to see Christmas ski trips, St. Pactrick’s Day pub crawls, Easter egg hunts, Independence Day fireworks, etc.
A little leeway can be granted by the Holga Week manager for Oktoberfest or other activities happening at the end of September of the current year.
Photos taken during previous years are not accepted.
Selfie with Holga
In addition to submitting up to three winning Holga photographs form the current Holga Week (October 1-7, 2024), you must also submit a selfie with your Holga camera. This is not a selfie taken with your Holga camera, but a selfie of you and your Holga camera. We want to see your pretty face and you Holga camera to prove you own a Holga camera. The selfie with Holga camera is not seen by anyone other than Holga Week staff (Mr. Holga). It is not shared without permission. Blame Mr. Holga if you have any issues with this rule.
