Local Photography Contests

[Amanda Louise]

A wildlife center in my area has an annual photography contest. I'm excited to enter shots I've taken at my bird feeder and of my pets. Do you enter local photography contests, and if so, have you ever won any prizes? I think contests like these are wonderful community activities and I wish there were more of them.

I have not participated in photography contests before. What criteria will the judges use in deciding the winner? It can be difficult for them when everyone is good at what they do.

That sounds like a great way to get your name out there. Plus, you have a better chance of having people notice you if all the contestants are local. I wish we had something like that around here.

Before entering any contest, I like to look through the selection criteria and the requirements. If you are eligible and have time to spare, then nothing should stop. Such experiences expand your scope and allow you to network.
