It’s that time of year when everything gets a bit Christmasssy at 383 Project and as such we wanted to share a new competition – the 383 Christmas album.

The premise is simple- find or create an interesting photo of a ‘383′, add a message and send it through to us. There’s more details of how to enter on the site.

In the new year we’ll pick a winner and runner up to receive a Flip Mino HD camera and Holga 35mm camera respectively.

There have already been some great submissions, so get going…

Being responsible for the fantastic photos there’s more to read over on Steve’s site as well as the official press release on Rewired’s site.

Our involvement has been predominantly on the accompanying brochure, map and outdoor advertising to help promote the campaign (more images to follow).
