Online Photography Competitions

Many online photography competitions require a fee to submit images and for that reason alone, the organisers are suspect. I have realised that such competitions are purely money-making ventures that generally cost very little to run, just a web page or two and the opinion of a judge who is often the organiser. With that in mind, I have ceased entering competitions demanding a fee. The prizes offered are an important consideration also if that is a motive for entering. I ask myself if the prize is something I want or need - of course money is a big motivator. If it's self esteem, kudos or publicity one seeks, then maybe there are more meaningful reasons for doing photography. Just my opinion.
