"Enter for Your Chance to Win!"

It is often in the back of our minds, something we say we need to look into, and have the best intentions of pursuing, but how many photo contests have

you entered? 

 

It is a great way to start getting your name out there and also to observe some of the work by others in your area of interest.  Checking out the work of contest winners is also a great way to evaluate great photography and where you might need to make improvements in the next contests.

I come across photo contests fairly often in all the research I do for my classes.  Do not be discouraged if you do not win right away.  If anything, use that as motivation for improving your techniques!  I have a great resource for finding a huge variety of contests in which you can enter your photos for a chance to win money/gift cards, gear, and even exclusive trips.  Check out http://www.photocontestinsider.com/ for the latest list of contests and competitions!
