how I apply to photo competitions

If you have ever wondered how to approach photo contests or photography competitions, this video is for you. I share how I apply to photo contests and how I recently won a photo contest with a cash prize attached to it. I also share all my tipps, tricks for participating in photo competitions as a photographer, the tools and systems that helped me and how I decide if it's worth to apply to a photo prize.

    Another really important thing to consider in evaluating a contest: Do you retain the rights to your photos, or are you giving up control on how your photos are used with no compensation? Read the terms and conditions carefully. It's legitimate to use your images in relation to promotions for the contest. It's shady to require you to give up all rights to your photo.

    Sorry to say, but that annoying music loop in the background killed my interest and patience. It's a shame, I might be missing something but..have to leave. Sorry:-)

    Thanks for the feedback. I just tried it on headphones and you are right that it’s too prominent there. Maybe try listening without. Will work on better sound / less music next video ;)

    @@katjafeldmeier your voice is just fine without the music. And, to be fair, I like your lighting, background and also the subject you are diving into, so all good besides the music. DOnt change to much miss ;-)

    Quiet music, and you're just a bore.
