Photo24 Ironman for photographers Photo 24 2018: the day Over 200 readers joined Photography News for its Photo 24 reader event on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 June. It was 24 hours of friendship, great photography, blue skies and scorching temperatures
Our Photo 24 is a free photo festival that takes place in London, this year starting at 3pm on 29 June and ending 24 hours later. This year’s event was – literally! – the hottest yet, but that didn’t deter our readers from immersing themselves in their photography, many of them for the full 24 hours. While Photo 24 lasts a whole day, how long participants
actually stay for is entirely up to themand this year we had close to 150 readers turning up for the event’s official sign-off. An impressive feat given the heatwave conditions. Photo 24 offers guided photo walks, shoots and the chance to loan a Fujifilm camera for free. There are also themed contests; this year, two to enter after the event, Best Street Image
and Best London Scene, and a Challenge that ran throughout the 24 hours. All three contests had the same prize: £1500 of Fujifilm camera equipment of the winner’s choice. The Fujifilm Super 24 Challenge had a new theme on the hour, every hour starting at 4pm on the first day and ending at 2pm on the next, so 23 different subjects to be shot
and uploaded for judging with the winner announced at Photo 24’s closing meeting. For more see the panel on the Fujifilm Super 24 Challenge. The next three pages will give you a flavour of this popular reader event and if you couldn’t make it this year, perhaps we’ll see you in 2019.
