If you are privy to this secret knowledge, photograph your predictions in Lenzr’s latest photo contest, Hair Styling Trends For 2012 . 2011 saw the return of some tried-and-true styles of the past as well as some bold new experiments with cut and colour. Heavy-hitter Jennifer Aniston (who made hair history in the nineties with ‘The Rachel’) was listed at #1 on Elle’s Best Hair of 2011 article for her update on the always-chic bob style. The...

The radiant star of Lenzr’s Polarizing Sunlight photo contest is nearly 110 times the size of the planet we live on–so it makes sense that special equipment is needed to win this challenge. Since recorded history, the sun has been a source of wonder, legend and life itself, pondered and puzzled over throughout the ages by scientists and mystics alike. As the source of day and light, the morning sun is so dependable it can be taken for granted by those wishing to stay in bed for another few... Read Full Story

Message from Rob Campbell, the Executive Contest Producer Occasionally the Lenzr admin writes dispatches to the membership outlining positive changes and technical evolutions to the Lenzr website. We are growing ever more popular, but slowly, and not so much through software innovation anymore as by hosting imaginative contests that appeal to the masses.  Each contest is like a stage play, or a project that we mount – and we never really know how successful the live event will be until it...

This photo contest is going to be a lot of fun, and should see some really interesting pictures uploaded into the index. In the last round of challenges there was an attraction built to celebrate ‘inventory management’, well Lenzr’s Bad Weather Hair photo contest is all about hairstyle management–or lack thereof. Its hard to have great hair in bad weather, but such coiffures can be really intriguing, and one will be award winning…  So in summary one could even say this match is a combination...

In this day and age, things become ‘old’ a lot faster than they used to. Brand-new phones put their six-month-old competitors to shame and new fad diets surface–then disappear–with alarming regularity. We live in a culture obsessed with the latest news or innovation. Fashions come and go, but we shouldn’t forget that every new development, discovery or idea has its foundation in what has come before. Lenzr’s Old Beside New photo contest is looking to see submissions juxtaposing the old... Read Full Story

The mouth is the gateway of good health and the state of our teeth is connected to our longevity. One of the most commonly reported recurring dreams is the nightmare of the teeth falling out. It’s a survival thing–the ability to chew your food is something that is taken for granted until circumstances (such as cavities or gingivitis–yuck, those words alone are so squirm-worthy!) take a turn for the worse. But this challenge is not to capture doom and gloom shots of teeth rotting from... Read Full Story
