Every year when we visit the WPotY exhibition my family ask if I entered and why not. So this year I finally put some in to both that and BWPA. Sadly no success with either, but I'll try to enter more in the future.
Photo competitions are all the rage these days and it seems every organisation is launching their own. So I thought it'd be useful to pull together a list of some of them, and rough deadlines.
