March 11, 2025
Just when you need it most, STCF is ON for later this year! We’ll be announcing details in the next week or so, including our timeline, 2025 juror for the September exhibitions, and two pre-festival events coming up in April & May intended to — we hope! —get people excited and out making photos with their economical plastic photo-making equipment. Watch this space, and/or sign up for our mailing list to get the update in your inbox!

Hello Friends --
The good news is, you haven't missed any messages, or the deadline to submit to the 11th annual Somerville Toy Camera Fest (phew!). The bigger news is, we're making the Festival a biennial event -- it isn't happening this year, but it will be back in 2025!
This decision hasn't been easy for us, and we apologize for our lack of communication while we've struggled with whether/how we might produce a festival this year in the midst of some difficult challenges. Ultimately, we've decided it doesn't make sense; STCF is a love-not-money project for us, and we want to be able to give it the attention and enthusiasm it deserves. Shifting to every other year will make for stronger festivals (plus, 'biennial' = fancy!).
We are so grateful for all our participating artists, workshop instructors, jurors past and future, friends, fans and followers. We hope you'll stay connected and involved as we plan for 2025 and beyond!
