Fujifilm Instax Competition Honourable Mentions

Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday November 24, 2011

We asked and you delivered! A few weeks ago, we asked that you submit your most creative ideas for using a Fuji Instax Mini 50S camera we were overwhelmed the awesome response. We chose the top 20 answers- these lucky 20 are our finalists! Eight of them will go on to win their very own Instax! But that's not all... you can win one too!

How? Everyday, you can vote for your favourite idea, the top eight with the most votes win a camera but everyone who votes is also entered to win one of two Instax cameras as well- yay!

While we wish we could give one away to everybody, we unfortunately can't, so we decided to compile a list of the honourable mentions- ideas we loved but that didn't make the top 20. Thanks to everyone who entered and please don't forget to vote!

Our Honourable Mentions:

I would use it to document my sisters pregnancy and present her with a scrapbook of all the great shots, that I was able to jot down captions and notes on! - Jamie Hall

Using this camera, I would create a calendar for my mom for Christmas. She loves calendars, but always takes forever to find one. I'd take pictures of her favourite places, people and things, and use them to mark special days throughout the year! :) - Kristy Spencer

I love design. If I had one of these gorgeous cameras I would use it to create a photo door into my room. I would take pics of anything that inspires me, from nature, to friends, to my favourite outfits. Then I would string all the photos together. After stringing all the photos together in the size and shape of my door I would pin them up over the entrance to my room. This would create a photo door. Then whenever I walk into my room I could be inspired and excited. Not to mention it would put a totally personal touch to my room! - Anne Robinson

I think a very creative thing to do with the Fujifilm Instax prints would be to compile a very special memory Birthday book from the start of the year to the time of the loved one or friends birthday comes around to give to them. I think it would be so neat to take some shots every month that highlighted the fun things that you did with them; it would cover all the four seasons and all the special holidays and outings throughout their year. I know I would love it if I received something like this because it comes from the heart and no big fancy gift could measure up to it! - Chris Creamer

I would use the instant prints to put together a memory mosaic. Although each of the instant prints may only capture a small area or idea, you could take a series of pictures at events (like parties or weddings!) and arrange them to form a larger image, creating a memorable, one-of-a-kind art to display. A picture is worth a thousand words...imagine what a whole series could be like together :) - Agnes T

I like to make picture frames - adding jewels and words to go with the theme or holiday. Fuji Instax instant prints would give it an old school authentic look to it! These are great gifts as well as novelties or party giftbag inserts. - Heather Holmberg

It ends up being a popularity contest not based on content. Would of been more fair if the staff at chick advisor picked based on what they thought was deemed worthy or did a draw of their top 20. Maybe in the future we can avoid voting contests :)

	on November 28, 2011 Ali de Bold STAFF said: Okee dokee people I've gotta chime in here. LyrissaSmillie, I think you handled the criticism you got like a champ. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but you were extremely gracious about it and I think you deserve credit for that. I love your idea for the contest and I'm sure the people who voted for you did so because they liked it too. Everyone, if you don't like a comment on your guestbook you can log into your profile and delete it. In the case of this contest, no rules were broken, though I can see why some contestant strategies may have bothered some. But, let's try to keep things positive ok? Have a great day everyone and good luck! XOXO
