Yup yup, the first set of route have been anonuced over in the route blog:

Check it out!

Right now we have places on a possible route five open with margolove, radiostaticstar and Tess Fondie! sweet.

I also announced a logo/banner design comp so go check that out right now!




Edit: Thanks to everyone who applied so far, but we need a full postage address (including post code) or else its not possible for people to post the camera to you.



Yup yup its back and this time its better than ever and were looking for super awesome people to take part.

For those of you who don’t know what Pic it forward is, it’s a group photography some of the threadless bloggers came up with about a year ago. The ideas fairly simple one person buys a disposable camera, takes a few photos then posts it onto the next person on the list, the next person gets the camera, takes a few photos and passes it on until it gets to the final person who gets the photos developed, printed and uploaded to the blog and flickr group for everyone to see.

Sounds like fun? Well were starting it up again and where looking for people to take part, want to join?

Its pretty simple just email:
--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
picitforward@gmail.com

User name
real name
address
willing to print
willing to buy a camera

in the subject put pic it forward, then put your threadless user name, this will make it easier for to work out who is who later.

For a route to work there are two extremely important roles, the person who buys the camera (we dont have a route if we dont have a camera) and the last person in the route, the person who prints them, please dont sign up to print if you think theres a chance you might not do it.



Now I’m not going to lie the first time we tried pic it forward it was a resounding failure (only one route was printed and it was never uploaded) but were fairly certain we’ve worked out what went wrong and how to fix it so were going to be making a few changes:

Shorter routes, last time it was ten people a route this time its going to be five.

Local routes , if a lot of you live on the east coast your route will only be on the east coast, its cheaper for you and it means the route will finish faster.

Were introducing team leaders! The leader of each route will be responsible for keeping their route going (with the support of the rest of the community) and make sure it does halt.

Anyone is welcome to apply to be a team leader but because of the nature of the role, we are only looking for dedicated people, the most active bloggers, and the most reliable/proven and awesome people.

Which brings us onto our next change, the newsletter this time around I’m we’ll be making much more of an effort to stay in touch and keep you all updated. We also might be launching some super secret projects later on so keep watching it.

And the final change?

Were turning this into an ongoing project, last time we took members then closed it and that was lame, so now:

We’ll be constantly making new routes

And

You can be in as many routes as you want.

We’ll try our best to help organise as many as possible.

Remember:

in the subject put pic it forward, then put your threadless user name, this will make it easier for to work out who is who later.




P.S

I’m seriously considering printing post cards and maybe a book and I want to know if you’d be interested? Because I’m broke it would have to be something you signed up for but we’d do that a lot closer to the time.
