Photography Contests

When you google "photography contest" it is no surprise that most of them require an entry fee, site membership, or simply are from a year ago! And on top of that it's hard to know for sure if the site is real. The best advice I can offer on being sure that you don't throw away your money and kiss the rights to your award-winning (even if it is just of your dog doing some weird back flip) picture goodbye, is to do your research before you enter! It's not hard to fall into the wrong website that looks like any other legit site nowadays.

On a slightly separate note, I'd like to direct you to a contest for all you Mac owners/lovers reading this. The first annual "Show Me Your Mac" photo contest is being held by the Mac Users Guide. They're basically looking for you to express why you love your Mac but be careful not to alter your picture too much! First place prize is a $10 iTunes gift card and a permanent page on their website for the winning image. Deadline to enter is January 31st. So get those cameras out, dust off your old (or new) Mac and show them your love!
