Win an Autographer Wearable Camera in the #CandidMoments Competition

June has been a pretty good month for travel contests and giveaways, so we figured why not welcome the summer solstice with one more fun competition. This latest one comes from Autographer.

I haven’t had a chance try out an Autographer yet, but from everything I’ve read about the wearable camera, it sounds like a game changer. According to press coverage, the camera gives users the freedom to capture spontaneous, hands-free photos, making it easy to document your life through a series of  “refreshingly real” wide-angle images.

The Autographer features a custom 136° eye view lens, an ultra small GPS unit and five built-in sensors. The sensors are reportedly “fused by a sophisticated algorithm to tell the camera exactly the right moments to take photos.” Sounds pretty cool, right? It reminds me a little of the original iPod and its uncanny ability to shuffle to the right song at the right moment.

Want to win on? Haha! Yeah, I do too! Read on for more details.

To celebrate the launch of their new Mount Adapter, Autographer is searching for the perfect #candidmoments photograph, submitted by you. We’ve included a couple of collages below that showcase what Autographer is looking for and to hopefully inspire your own entries, which can be captured with a smart phone, point and shoot, or even a DSLR. And just for a little extra inspiration, here’s one of my favorite candid moments that Beth captured while walking through a market in Paris.

How to enter:

Autographer is looking for images that reflect the same spontaneous, candid, naturalness that Autographer so easily captures. In other words, the perfect #candidmoments that sum up the phrase “candid moments” to you.

You don’t need to head out and specially take a photo–you may already have the perfect one on your laptop or phone ready and waiting to enter. Get inspired by these beautiful Autographer shots below, and the way they capture candid, spontaneous, natural emotion. But don’t worry–the photo you enter can be taken on any device, camera phone, point and shoot or SLR!

Want to see what other people are capturing? Autographer will be uploading its favorite entries to our Pinterest board ‘Candid Moments’ throughout the competition.

Remember, it must be a photograph you’ve taken and that you have permission to use.

You can enter via Twitter and Instagram, and the process is really simple.

1. Ensure you’re following Autographer on the platform you’ve chosen to enter via. You can find its profiles here:

When will the winners be announced?

A panel of judges working at Autographer will decide on the winners and the final four will be announced on social media on Thursday 31st July.

There will be four winners chosen, with each lucky winner receiving an Autographer wearable camera (worth $399), a Mount Adapter (worth $50) and a tripod or mount of your choice, from Autographer’s recommended partners. For example, this might be a bike mount for capturing amazing journeys or a tripod for capturing amazing sunsets and time-lapse sequences. You decide!
