Friday, April 25, 2008 @ 11:18
There are lots of photography competitions held around the world each year, but few are as prestigious as the Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards Competition. An event open to both professional and amateur photographers, this competition offers prizes in a variety of categories such as Advertising, Architecture, Books, Editorial, Fine Arts, Nature, People and many other, lesser known subjects. They accept prints, slides and even digital submissions.
Entering is easy and can be done right from the IPA's website. Photographers submitting their work for consideration have the chance of winning the coveted title of International Photographer of the Year and the accompanying $10,000 cash prize, not to mention the personal and professional renown that goes with such an accomplishment.
Other categories include the IPA "Discovery of the Year," with a $5,000 cash prize provided by the company.
Of course, all major photography competitions offer benefits far in excess of their cash prizes to winners. The chance to have one's work distributed under the banner of a prestigious photography-related organization has benefits that can help the struggling photographer to bring their work to a higher level of professional acceptance. That is why it is so important to enter as many of these competitions as possible, especially for amateur photographers seeking to make the jump to professional status.
All winners in the International Photography Awards competition will have their work published in the IPA Annual, award-winning book and exhibited in the IPA Best of Show traveling exhibition which visits nine different countries. Winning entries will also be screened at the Lucie Awards and highlighted on IPA's website. Winning work will also be featured in IPA advertising worldwide.
If you are interested in entering this competition, just go to the IPA's website at
PhotoAwards.com where you can either download an application form or enter right online.
And, good luck!
