Photography Competitions

[ReaglePhoto]

With so many photographers looking to build a reputation on the international circuit, what are the photo contests you normally submit your images to?

Here are some of mine:

PPA, WPPI, Dodho Magazine, Audobon Society, Arizona Highways, Monochrome Awards, MonoVisions Awards, and I think there are a few others I'm forgetting right now. 

I take all my photos with either my Alpha 9 II (a9II) or my Alpha 7S II (a7SII) and soon, I will be adding the #a7R V to the collection.

I haven't actually submitted to anything lately. Which one do you like the best?

Hello CarolineJenses, if you have never submitted to any photo competition, I would recommend to start with the ones from PPA (Professional Photographers of America), and get the additional photo critiques. Online photo contests or apps are fun too, but they don't really prepare you for real photography competitions.
