Topic: Other Photo Contests

[Jak]

I know Jason mentioned the Midwest Photo Exchange contest.  I did look them up on Facebook.


I thought maybe we could have a thread to post other photo contests in - maybe with links to sites/info?

Anyone know of any others?  Even ones at fairs & festivals would be good.

No idea. I just cut and pasted the rules from the Knox County Art League (KCAL) Newsletter for the month. 

I can assure you I won't be the one to snitch if someone does. I think some of those statements are kinda "prissy" myself, but I had no hand in generating them either.

I can tell you there are several (IMHO) very good photographers in that group. i.e. Bill Ernst, who's work can be seen in the public areas of Knox Community Hospital or on his website: http://billernstphotography.com/gallery.asp?id=3  *** Pat Pursel who does marvelous work *** and several others. I'll probably enter a couple myself since I'm a member.

Just wanted to post this info again for anyone who's interested.  I've been a member of this site for a little over a month now and WOW, some of the photographers on here are just amazing (I especially like Nick Lagos' work).

If you want to really challenge yourself (the bar here is quite high) I recommend it.  You also get very honest feedback on your images from people who are absolute geniuses with a camera - hard on the ego, but great for learning.  I can see my stuff improving already...
