An independent eye on photography competitionsFor photographers. Since 2006.
Photo CompetitionsOur approach

For the love of photography.

Helping photographers find worthwhile competitions since 2006. We believe a good opportunity starts with clear, honest information.

Your work deserves care.

Choosing where to enter a photograph is about more than a prize. It is about who will see your work, what an entry costs and what happens to your images afterwards.

We bring those details together, with competition dates, fees, eligibility and image rights presented in a consistent format. You can explore by genre, compare opportunities and build a shortlist that is right for you.

Clarity before commitment.

Our rights ratings draw attention to the permissions an organiser asks you to grant. An excellent rating indicates limited, competition-related use; a good rating indicates limited publication rights; a fair rating calls for a closer look at a broader licence.

The rating is a starting point. Always read the current official rules before entering, particularly for commercial use, sublicensing and the duration of a licence.

A directory with perspective.

Our editorial approach puts photographers first. Listings show the latest verification date where one is available, and link directly to the organiser so you can check current details at the source.

We include established recurring competitions between entry periods, clearly marking closed editions. Competition schedules and terms can change; the official website remains the final source for entry information.
