Broken Factories: Find the beauty in imperfection

Perfection is overrated, flaws are intriguing. That’s the concept behind Lenzr’s Broken Factories photo contest, which focuses on Canada’s many abandoned warehouses and forgotten buildings. Over the years, our country has undergone many significant urban shifts and in the process, these buildings were left behind in the dark. This photo contest aims to bring them back into the light. Look at the processes of urban decay in these buildings; they each have their own story. Capture it in a snapshot and submit it to the contest for your chance to win a Toshiba netbook, courtesy of a leading ERP software developer.

Making It Beautiful: The Process of Beauty

And from imperfections to perfection, Lenzr’s Making It Beautiful contest asks what it takes to make something beautiful. How is beauty created, enhanced, and reflected? Whether it be a painter’s hand the last few strokes on the canvas or a photographer trying to get just the right angle, submit your best snapshot of an artist putting the finishing touches on their masterpiece. You could win $500 worth of advanced hairstyling products from a beauty school.

Canadian Beaches: Diversity in Waterscapes

Our last photo contest, Canadian Beaches, is about diversity. Though Canada may not be the warmest climate, we have thousands of unexplored beaches that offer a great canvas for some interesting waterscape photography. Submit your best photo of a Canadian beach for your chance to win three pieces of designer swimwear from an exclusive line. Just be sure to clearly indicate the beach name and location on your photo. You better hurry, the voting period will begin soon on December 20, 2010. All three contests run until January 1st, 2010. Good luck to all contest participants, and happy picture-taking!
