The sheer number of modern photography contests are astonishing. From multiple ‘calls for entry’ you can show your work in California, Texas, Alaska, Prague, Paris, and nearly anywhere else in the world the magic internet can reach. Nearly all don’t require the arduous and probably cholera ridden trip via steam ship to Hyde Park, London, but rather a few smart keystrokes and some deft mouse operation. Many of these contests, are found through internet listings, as well as newsletters and organizations which guide you to these resources. Evaluating the “Call for Entry” is essential, are they for real? Which one will really showcase our work? Are regional calls worth the expenditure? Exposure and feedback, are what we, as artists, require in order to evolve.
