Lace up your runners people, because there’s going to be a sprint to the box office on Thursday, August 12th at 8pm when the 60 tickets for the 2010 12×12 Vancouver Photo Marathon go on sale  through Eventbrite!

Last year the tickets went in one week and we already have a lot of interest so we deliberately placed the release at a time when we figure everyone can be at home and in front of their computers. We’ve also set up a waitlist so if someone gets a ticket and then can’t attend, we can pass it on to the next person on the list. Very important: Make sure to leave your email and a phone number.

Be advised: To ensure we have 60 participants, we have created a new rule for the event. If you hold a ticket but do not register before 8:30am on the event day, we will release your ticket to those on the waiting list unless you contact us in advance to let us know that you are planning on arriving late or that you are delayed. Before releasing a ticket to the waiting list, we will attempt to contact the original ticket holder using the phone number entered during the ticket purchase process. Therefore, make sure you provide a phone number you can be reached at on event day (i.e. your cell phone number).

If you are planning on arriving late on the event day, notify us in advance or you will lose your spot!

This year the ticket price is $24. The ticket includes participation in the marathon itself, free film and development, your photos exhibited at the free gallery showcase, the chance to win some great prizes and lots of other goodies.

There was some confusion last year as to the name of the event so the team decided to make the video you see above to shed some light. Feel free to spread it far and wide: YouTube.

A big thank you goes out to our fabulous Lesley Tetlow Stefanski, for directing and editing this award-winning piece of comedy!
