Galerie d'Art, Photographie Contemporaine - ChipChop. LIFE photo archive hosted by Google. Resource: Photo Contests and Grants Calendar | Jasmine DeFoore | Photo Editor & Marketing Consultant. (this post is updated regularly) Contests… Some are great. Some feel like they only exist to rob photographers of their meager income. Before you enter, carefully consider if it’s worth your money. Stick with contests that have, in the past, recognized photographers whose work you admire.
If you want to be getting commercial and editorial work, avoid contests aimed at amateurs. Remember, the primary (commercial) benefit of entering a contest is getting your work in front of industry big wigs who otherwise might not have seen it. Here’s a general timetable of contest deadlines throughout the year. Please comment below to add info for ones that I’ve forgotten to include.
