Top 5 Most Interesting Ongoing Photo Contests

Top 5 Most Interesting Ongoing Photo Contests

 

 

Nowadays photographers have a wide range of opportunities available to them. Young artists can try their hand at photography and turn their hobby into a career. People who are engaged in the field of photography are always seeking ways to improve their skills, learn something new, and discover new and unusual styles.

 

 

There are many ways to express yourself and a contest is one of the best. You can observe other participants’ works, compare them to yours, and understand what your professional level is. Most of the contests have a prize or special award. That fact usually contributes to the spirit of a competition.

 

 

The Internet is full of different advertisements for contests, and it seems easy to find them, but choosing which contest is worth taking part in is difficult. I have been searching online for something out of the ordinary. If you are interested in participating in outstanding, interesting photo competitions, the list below is for you. 2018 and 2019 will be full of variety, so I picked the most impressive ones. Enjoy!

What is the relationship between advertisements for contests and the Philosophy of Photography? I don’t see the connection. I wonder if a posting like this would be more appropriate in the News forum. There used to be something like an Announcements forum, but I no longer see it. Anyway, nice of you to share this info. Thanks.

There are myriad contests - interesting to see your list - I have never even heard of or seen any of these, will have to check a few of them out.

The lensculture visual storytelling award looked interesting to me too. The submission deadline's soon but there's no restriction on date of photo(s). Doesn't look as if there are cash prizes but if you receive an award, the exposure is probably worth a lot.

Nothing really other than some folk seeking vanity.

Sorry, I am a new non-professional here, it was placed it the section of philosophy by mistake... I was so overwhelmed with philosophy that didn't even mention wrong placement. I am happy if this article was useful for you.

You'd better put it in the right place.
