Send us a text

In this episode I give you seven undeniably good reasons why you should be entering photo comps.

Tune in to hear why the below reasons will make you a better photographer:
1. Great practice
2. Building your portfolio
--->We also touch on tapping into photography project based Facebook groups and collaborating with another photographer as an accountability buddy
3. Finishing your work to a high standard
--->Printing your images for presentation and learning about papers.
4. Build your credibility in the industry and as an artist
--->Sharing details of your awards and wins to your website, LinkedIn, Facebook etc
5. For your CV
--->Great if you ever want to exhibit as an artist
--->Plus the publicity that can come with being a finalist
6. Build professional practices, without client pressures and on your terms
7. Compete against yourself - set personal goals

And technically not one of my 7 reasons, but you can win money, and other amazing prizes!
