There’s Potential To Win The Grand Prize

Contests put you on the map. They drive eyeballs towards your photo entry and eventually help build your personal brand. In addition to this, typically photo contests have a winner, as well as a raft of commended photos. Once again, this gives you a significant chance of more exposure, should your photo be commended.

It’s A Way To Gain Exposure

The bigger the contest, the bigger the prize! Those that win, often gain a photographic opportunity that is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. The grand prize is a motivating factor in itself. It pushes you to do better. If you choose this as a professional career path, it also acts as an investment in, for example, your dream equipment.

It Gives You Direction,
Helps You Strive To
Achieve Perfection: 

There are times as a photographer that you’ll drift a little bit. Whether that means you photograph less, or when you do photograph there’s not too much cohesion to it. Even those with clear ideas about their photography benefit from a clear direction to head in, and a photo contest is one great way to achieve this.

Do you always photograph all your photos at the correct aperture? Was the Exposure left too low, from the last time you photographed outdoors? While you’ll almost certainly get those camera settings correct when you’re out photographing when it comes to a contest you definitely will. The smallest advantages you can gain by perfecting your technique can all stack up, and you’ll need every advantage you can get to win a contest.
