After recently being asked by a friend to help spread the word of their new landscape photography competition, it prompted me to think about competitions as a whole and share my thoughts - my past experiences of them, their advantages, pitfalls, and some of the things to consider when deciding if you should enter and what images you might select. Some photographers have a very relaxed approach to competitions, while others take the results to heart. Are photography competitions for you?
