Details below.

Global Polaroid Exchange by the Numbers
Starting in September 2025

Polaroids sent: 122

Countries: 12

Miles traveled: 368,370

  • How Does it Work

    Take an instant photo (Polaroid/Instax - any size) to send to another photographer.

    Each month you participate, you will receive a mailing address from one other participant.

    And a different participant will receive your address to send you their photo.

  • Rules

    No mixed media. (I know, I know—most of my art is! But this keeps things fair so everyone exchanges similar Polaroids.)

    Keep it safe for work. Not everyone is comfortable with nudity, drugs, etc.

    Follow through. If you sign up, please send your photo so no one is left without one.

The September Exchange is Closed
