Do you want to try something new, move your boundaries, make unique memories? HLRF (Hang Loose Rockabilly Festival) organizes a Pin-Up photo contest to which you can join. 🙂

Photographs of female models (whether single models or female part of applied couples) enter the competition for “Miss Pin-Up Photo” (winners selected on the day of the Festival), while photographs of all contestants (females and couples) enter the competition for the HLRF 2020. calendar (published by the end of 2019).
From the applicant models we require compliance with pin-up visual style of dress, makeup and hairstyle. Predicted sceneries are classic cars, motorcycles and bicycles, retro furniture and picnic setup.
This competition will be held on the 3rd HLRF on June 29, 2019 at the site of the HLRF (“Tenin salaš” Kralj Tomislava 76b, Vinkovci), as scheduled:

We accept 3 types of applications:
- team applications of model (single female or male/female couple) and photographer
- independent model (single female or male/female couple) application
- independent photographer application
In the case of application types 2 and 3, organizer will form the teams right before the start of photo shooting. Depending on the number of the applicants, it is possible that the organizer will assign up to two of independent models to one independent photographer.
The organizer reserves the right to reject the application without an explanation (eg due to the excessive response of the models in relation to the possible number of sceneries, or due to differences in the number of models and photographers, etc.). The organizer obliges to notify all applicants about acception/rejection of their applications by 3rd of June 2019. at 15:00 hrs.
Models and photographers are not paid for the participation on the contest, and the costs of accommodation/transportation are borne by themselves. For all accepted contestants, the organizer will provide a free entrance to the festival. We do not charge any registration fee.
Organizer will provide prizes for the winners of the “Miss Pin-Up Photo” contest (listed on the bottom of this text). The winners will be selected by jury composed of at least three members of the NGO “retroPERSPEKTIVA” (HLRF organizer) and one official photographer of the HLRF.
