We have a new travel opportunity, this time to Portugal! We wanna send one of you out there for an 8-day festival called 180 Creative Camp for FREE.

I spoke at this event last year and had an absolute blast! I can tell you it was a life-changing trip for many young creatives. This opportunity is open to all members: Learn more and apply here.

If you wanna know more about becoming a member, go here.

Thank you to everyone for sending in so many amazing proposals to our Passion Projects open call. We’re excited to announce the first two members to receive $500 towards their Passion Projects are Allie Avital and Lindsay Henwood. We’ll reveal their projects this summer! And stay tuned, there will be another call for Passion Projects proposals very soon!

In case you missed it last week we ran a feature called Good Goods — this is our way to highlight the cool things that Booooooom members are making and selling in their own shops. Go support each other!

Photographer Jeremy Jude Lee shot some photos of Devon Wong using our Booooooom x DSPTCH camera strap. If you wanna snag one, a reminder for members, your discount code for all product in our shop is in your welcome email!

We’re still accepting submissions to our Camera Stories project! Loved this submission from Gabriel Adda about his Agfa Box camera. In fact, we loved it so much we’re sending him one of our special Booooooom x DSPTCH camera straps just for submitting! If you wanna submit to the project, go here (there will be more giveaways).

Each week I go through submissions, looking to feature new Editors’ Picks and Member Spotlights on Instagram. A couple of my recent favs discoveries were photographer Lorena Cao and artist Phuong Nguyen aka Jacquell.
