You only have until 25th March!
Last year’s Tell Your Story Program was a big success. It’s an initiative designed to help OM System discover and support new talent. Those lucky enough to be selected are provided with their own OM System OM-5 kit, plus the personal mentorship of a nominated OM System Ambassador.
You have until March 25th, 2024 to enter: photography enthusiasts of every skill level are invited to participate in Tell Your Story II. The project will be primarily showcased on Instagram, utilizing the @omsystem.generation channel, curated for newcomers to the photography community. The content will embrace both inspirational and foundational technical insights associated with the OM-5 and M.Zuiko lenses. Additionally, the campaign will be promoted through posts and stories on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
“We’re excited to bring back Tell Your Story with Tell Your Story II, building upon the success and momentum of last year’s program,” said Mark Thackara, Senior Manager of Content and Community at OM SYSTEM. “This year, we’re delighted to collaborate again with our esteemed photography mentors from around the world, including Julia Wunsch, Rania Ronntöft, Daniel Villadsen, Brooke Bartleson, and Peter Baumgarten.”
In addition to the familiar mentors, Tell Your Story II introduces a new theme inspired by the timeless Japanese philosophy of Kacho Fugetsu, which translates to “Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon”. This philosophy reflects OM SYSTEM’s belief in the enriching connection between humanity and nature. Participants are encouraged to explore and depict their connection with nature through the following elements:
• ‘Flower’ for capturing the minute wonders of the natural world.
• ‘Bird’ for documenting the wonders of wildlife.
• ‘Wind’ for showcasing a visual journey of adventure, exploration, and travel.
• ‘Moon’ for highlighting expansive vistas, celestial nightscapes, and innovative computational photography techniques.
“Kacho Fugetsu adds a new dimension to our program, inviting participants to celebrate the diversity and beauty of nature through their lens,” added Thackara.
