Polaroid Week is a bi-annual celebration of instant film that is held on Flickr that allows lovers of the medium to get together and share their newly created instant works. This year’s Spring Polaroid Week started on Sunday, April 19th and lasted until Friday, April 24th and had 220 members submit a total of 1,284+ photographs. We watched the action unfold and have chosen 20 of our absolute favorites! These are just our picks and there are still thousands of amazing instant photographs to go see on the Flickr Group Pool. So go check it out!

A Short description from Roid Week’s Group Pool:

“We started POLAROID WEEK in 2006 to celebrate instant film. We also started it as a project – to see what new and interesting things we could do with instant film, and to challenge ourselves to produce some really great work.”
