Lifespan Lapse: free random draw — your place, through the years

Send us a photo of a place you know. We'll turn it into a time-lapse through the years.
What you'll get: 1. You send 1 photo (example: a real photo from 2020). 2. We make a 22-second video going back in time (2020, 1970, 1950, 1905, 1867, 1850; 30 frames). 3. We post it on @lifespanlapse, Instagram and YouTube, with your name in the caption. Your real photo is the first or last frame. Up to 7 places a week, by random draw.
Example video at 2x speed: a real 2020 photo of a city avenue, then AI-imagined years going back to 1850.
Example: a real photo from 2020, taken back to 1850 (2x speed).
How it works: 1. Fill in this form. 2. Add your photo, wide, no people. 3. Random draw, up to 7 places every week. 4. We post it on @lifespanlapse, with your name. Entering doesn't guarantee a video.

Your photo of the place

A wide photo with the street or surroundings and no people works best. Your own photo only. Max 10 MB.
