"Whether you're a full or part time professional photographer or just aspiring to create better images, nothing helps you grow more than entering images in competition. Entering images in contests, especially when they're themed and images are shared, you get a chance to test your skills, but there are a lot of other benefits." Skip Cohen
Learning Discipline:
It's the first thing I love about a contest. Just like working with a client in the real world, you've got a specific topic and a deadline. If you were ever active in sports in high school or college, then you know the value of warming up. Well, a great contest helps you warm up for the images you're creating for the real world.
Expanding Creativity:
The excitement of a good contest gives you a chance to push the edge of the envelope. You know when you look at one of your images if it's really good or only loved by your parents! When you're thinking about what you're going to enter, you photograph differently than if you were just shooting to document something for yourself or even a client. You're in it to win it and there's no room to compromise.
