They justify it by claming that industry buyers will see the winning entries when they're published. Peter and David Turnley, who are from my hometown, said that they got started by walking into newspaper and photo agency offices with a portfolio, and people actually talked to them and wanted to see their work. I don't think anyone will do that anymore; now aspiring photographers are there to be milked for money rather than considered for jobs. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-486-2581 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 3/9/11 3:08 PM, "Nathan Wajsman" <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > Small prizes and a rather hefty entry fee.
