If you've ever wanted to enter your images into a photo contest but haven't wanted to pay the submission fee or worried that your work wouldn't be recognized because you're not “well known”, well now's your chance to enter a contest that is both FREE of fees and names.
The team over at Shoot & Share has opened the 2015 Photo Contest and it's completely free to enter. You can enter up to 40 of your own images between 21 different categories. Voting is entirely “blind” in the sense that no one's name is attached to their image. More than 3,000 photographers have already submitted images to the 2015 Photo Contest… and you still have time to submit yours. All submissions must be received no later than February 8th, 2015 and voting will begin on February 11, 2015.
You can find out more about the 2015 Photo Contest and submit your selected images by visiting the Shoot & Share website.
Our team here at Showit is so excited to be a sponsor of this year's contest and we'll be giving away more than $20,000 in prizes! You don't want to miss out!! We also don't want you to miss out on seeing some of the past category winners from the 2014 Photo Contest. These images were all recognized as the 1st place winners in their respective categories and were photographed by members of the Showiteer community.
