Do you submit to magazines or prizes? I know the meme is that you can only hope to leave just one or two worthwhile photos after you die. But what’s wrong with trying to build a career?
If I had the money, I'd participate in the Mobile Photography Awards, alas the entry fees turn it into gambling
Dead board.
>>4477903Contests won't help you build your career as much as putting the same effort elsewhere (networking and marketing)Most photo contests are just rights grabs for a company to get free stock photo, they dangle a modest prize, and get back 10x that in photos they can now use for their own marketing purposes
If its free to do and you don't lose rights to your images, whats the harm?I don't do it because my photos are not good though.
>>4484677Find any contest and it's easy to see the problems, even OP's has effectively a +$75 entry feeThe only ones worth doing are small community ones with no real rewards, like we used to have here, and like you can find on other photo forums
