The newest project from Art House Co-op; A fun art swap!
You create a work of art under the given theme; this one being the Ampersand.
Mail it off, and then receive another artists creative work in return. It’s like pen pals for artists at the random. Pretty neat I think

Printed on Kodak Endura professional photo paper, your Instagrams will stand out with rich vibrant colour, ready to be framed.

With your choice of either;

Semi-Gloss paper, which is a traditional photo paper with a satiny finish, offering enhanced colour and beauty. Semi-gloss works well for all photo types.
or

The Mobile Photo Awards 2012

It’s that time of year again, and once again I have entered… of course; The Mobile Photo Awards 2012!

About the Mobile Photo Awards 2012

The Mobile Photo Awards were founded to promote and harness the global phenomenon of mobile, or cell-phone, photography and art.  The awards are committed to presenting the art-form in galleries and exhibits.

…

The short-term goal of the Mobile Photo Awards is to celebrate the medium of mobile photography, the artists, the developers who create the applications and, of course, the beauty of the images. We believe that in order to bring the pictures into the public eye the medium must move beyond online photo sharing. While we are huge proponents of the online photo community we also feel that sometimes the images must be tactile, printed and framed, viewed on walls in a public space, and treated with the public respect accorded other art-forms. In order to achieve this goal, we have founded the Mobile Photo Awards in the hopes that the very best artists and images will be discovered in this manner.

The long-term goal of the Mobile Photo Awards is to continue hosting the annual awards, promote and produce gallery shows, and help raise the level public respect for our medium. We also aim to help educate and inform the art world that these images are remarkable and the tool used to create them is ultimately not as important as the images themselves.

Excerpt from their about information.

The prizes are nothing short of phenomenal!

GRAND PRIZE:
$3000 for MPA Photographer of the year!

Winning images go on the MPA Gallery Tour, Fine Art Exhibits, OlloClip Lenses for all category winners, Canvas Pop gift cards, Postagram cards, HatchCraft Bamboo Frames and more!

Excerpt from the home page.

These are the three images that I have submitted, all taken and edited using my iPhone 4 and various apps.
