A photo competition is an event where photographers submit their best images to be judged based on specific criteria. These competitions can focus on various themes, such as nature, portrait, or street photography, and often have categories for different skill levels. Participants may compete for prizes, recognition, or the opportunity to have their work displayed in galleries or publications. Judging in a photo competition typically involves a panel of experts or public voting. The winners are usually announced at an awards ceremony, and their photographs may be featured in exhibitions or online platforms. Competitions can be local, national, or international, attracting a diverse range of participants.
