Are there photography contests?

There are almost too many photography contests to count. Many of the photo sharing sites like Kodak Easyshare, Nikon Picture Town and Flickr offer regular contest for their members. Photo storefront sites like Red Bubble and Fine Arts America have hundreds of photo groups.

Periodically these groups offer themed contests. These contests are generally not juried and opened to all the sites members. Social networking sites like Facebook also have photo contests periodically.

The other place to look for contests is at local art festivals and artists associations. These usually require an admission fee unlike the online contests. In most cases these contests are juried and the jury might reject your work.

If you pay an entry fee it will not be refunded if your work is rejected. Look to your local artists associations and local publications to find these contests. There are almost too many photography contests to count.
