26 Blocks

This page  used to say there was a second contest “coming soon”.  Will it ever come?

Because of the vast, unexpected, ever-expanding affection for 26 Blocks, we’re putting together the best follow-up contest we can imagine. We think it will come out in 2011, but no guarantees. With the iPad app recently launched to the public, we’re still contemplating which of several great ideas should materialize next.

The First 26 Blocks Public Amateur Writing and Photography Contest

The 26 Blocks ‘Think Inside The Block’ Contest ended on April 30, 2010. Winners were selected by majority vote in a blind test; professional photographers chose a favorite photograph, professional writers chose a favorite piece of writing. And the winners are…

Photographer: Karina Downer (Phoenix)

Writer: Tara Lubich (Phoenix)

Their work is displayed with the rest of the exhibit, though on occasion some venues simply don’t have room. For this reason, we’ve placed them on the iPad app.
