As you might have noticed in our recent Polaroid posts, we’ve been using some incredible new limited instant film from our friends at the Impossible Project, who started from scratch to completely reinvent and produce a new photographic instant system for classic Polaroid cameras. They’ve hooked us up with some really great prizes — including film and and a couple of hard-to-find vintage classic Polaroid cameras (pictured above) — to give away to three winners:
1st prize (in the center) – Polaroid Spectra Pro + 2 packs Impossible PZ 600 film
2nd prize (left) – Polaroid Supercolor 635CL + 2 packs Impossible PX 600 UV+
3rd prize (right) – 2 packs of Impossible PX or PZ film to fit your camera
All winners will also receive at least one of our original Polaroids. To enter, just do the following three things, and we’ll pick three winners at random on Friday, December 10:
1. LIKE The Impossible Project on Facebook
2. LIKE Gorilla vs. Bear on Facebook
3. Tell us your favorite album of 2010 in the comment section below.
[About the Impossible Project: "The Impossible Project is the new home base for the comeback of analog photography since March 2010 - re-inventing and re-positioning analog instant photography in the modern day as the most anti-digital medium available, both celebrating and pushing beyond its limits."]
UPDATE: contest closed. Congrats to winners Michelle Pena, Steve Sanchez, and Christine Han.

How has any one not said this yet? “Before Today” by Ariel Pink! It’s perfect at just the right times..

The Soft Pack, “The Soft Pack” – Why are more websites not giving them the credit they deserve?! This album is so tight, concise, and rocking, perfectly encapsulating some slacker indifference yet still remaining sincere and loyal to each song.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, from Kanye
sunset-love shines but the moon is shining too
Aw, jeez, man, whenever I say a favorite album, I get all weird and, like, guilty toward all the other albums that I really really like, but just on that day at that moment aren’t my favorite favorite.
Either White Jeans or Yeasayer. My friends rag on me for the Yeasayer, because a) it leaked last year, so everyone’s had the chance to listen to it and get over it, and b) the guy with the poodle hair.
But I think I have to go with Odd Blood, just because a lot of the other albums that I like haven’t settled in yet, you know? I’m not sure if I’m going to like that Ty Seagal album (or however you spell his name) as much as I do right now in another month. Odd Blood has held up.
Sorry, that was all TMI, wasn’t it? But still, you should give me the polaroid because I’ll use it to make crazy emulsion transfers.
too many favorites to pick, but dug eminem and Drakes album and love We Were Promised Jet Packs ep.
MK
Ty Segall – Melted
The Tron Legacy OST by Daft Punk
The Big Black & The Blue by First Aid Kit
(Sorry if this posts multiple times or anything, my internet is being slow and sketchy.)
The National’s High Violet

My absolute favorite album of the year is “Pop Negro” – by. El Guincho

I think my favorite album released this year is “Danger Days” by MCR.

we’ll announce the winners on Monday
Sorry to pester you… But have the winners been announced? If so, where?
Sufjan Stevens – All Delighted People EP
Agalloch – Marrow of the Spirit
There’s some sort of mistake here. It says that the winners will be chosen December 10, but I haven’t received any notice or verification to let me know I won and it’s the 11th. What’s the deal here?
Ms Badu’s ‘New Amerykah Part II: Return of the Ankh’ for sure.
Supremely jealous I missed out on the BadWu-izm last night!
(I know I’m too late for the contest, but still have an opinion!)
So… Who won?
Whats happening, wheres my camera ;)
