<p>Try the <a href="http://www.artfaircalendar.com/">Art Fair Calender</a> for a list of juried shows. However those are usually limited to artists who have been accepted to the shows and who will be physically present with display booths.</p>

<p>"Free entry" and "good prizes" rarely go together. Most legitimate juried shows and exhibits in any area of the arts, whether photography, painting, sculpture or others, almost always charge a fee for entry to cover the fees paid to secure qualified jurors. And juried shows at arts fairs will also involve expenses for booth or display spaces, as well as travel and lodging expenses.</p>

<p>There are a lot of scams out there, including some that charge what seems like a very reasonable entry fee of $10 or less. The scammers are counting on people not complaining about a small fee when it turns out that nobody actually ever wins anything.</p>

<p>BTW, you should review your previous thread on this very similar issue, which should have served as a warning about the pitfalls of "free" and "good": "<strong><a href="../casual-conversations-forum/00TAcz">use of your photographs by a business through a competition</a> </strong> "<br /></p>
