A photography contest is a competition where photographers submit their best images to be judged based on creativity, technique, and overall impact. Participants may enter various categories, such as landscape, portrait, or wildlife photography, depending on the contest's rules. Winners often receive prizes, recognition, or opportunities for exposure in galleries or publications. These contests can be organized by photography clubs, art institutions, or online platforms, attracting both amateur and professional photographers. They provide a chance for individuals to showcase their skills, gain feedback, and connect with others who share a passion for photography.
