Hi, I’m very much an amateur photographer and I’d really like to advance and develop my skills. I’m debating whether to enter one or two of my photographs in to competition, whether that be nationally (UK) or internationally.

I know I won’t win, but I’m really after critique by more experienced and honest photographers.

Has anyone else done this, and did you gain any benefit from doing so?

    But for real, if there’s no cost to enter, why not submit as many photos as you can? If there’s a topic for the contest, it may even get you to think about different styles or try new things. The contest alone won’t improve your skills, but researching and trial and error for trying to meet the competition requirements might.

    Good luck.
