Buzz and Free Prints at the HP Gallery

Posted by Tim / May 3, 2007

20070503_portfolios.jpgThe Waddington's building on Bathurst has been buzzing for the last two days as photographers with varied levels of experience and nationalities have descended on the temporary HP Gallery to get their portfolios reviewed.

I was there this afternoon to take advantage of the FREE printing that HP is offering during the CONTACT Photography Festival. Starting tomorrow (I called in a favour) and running until May 22nd, anyone can drop by the HP Gallery and get a photo printed for free on HP's army of huge colour printers.

20070503_printers.jpgAlso during this time, a selection of photos from some of the best portfolios reviewed this week will be on display. We're all encouraged to vote for our favourite. The winner will be announced on May 29th at The Drake and receive $3,000 and a professional HP printer like they're using at the gallery.

Are there any restrictions on what you can print?

Tim,
From the link, it sounds like you have to register your portfolio for review in order to get a free printing. Is that true? Registration is $110 or $200, depending on how many people you want reviewing your photos.
This article made it sound like anyone could go in and print an image for free.
Please clarify.

It's my understanding that anyone can get one print made and it doesn't cost a dime.

Last year I popped in with a file, and they were happy to print it. I think this year is no different :)
