Part of being a professional photographer is also learning to seize opportunities. When you’ve got such a rich portfolio of work and your hard drive is flooding with excellent pictures that didn’t make the cut, know that there is a time and a place for them.

International photography projects are aimed at people just like you. The treasure hunt for new talent is in constant motion throughout the year which is why you should consider applying. Photography contests are healthy competition and give you a chance at the exposure you deserve.

Please  not that each contest has its own theme and brief so do visit the individual contest websites for more details.
