Last year, I spent (probably too much) money on entering various photography competitions in order to raise the profile of my fine art photography. I garnered a few honourable mentions and certificates (see my [About] page), but was still left feeling rather flat, because these were pay-to-enter affairs.
This year I have decided to only submit entries to competitions that are either free, or I have been given a voucher to enter for free. As luck would have it, my lighthouse spiral staircase has been picked for further exposure in the LensCulture Critic's Choice competition 2024, so fingers-crossed that it makes continued progress once the call for entries has closed in April.
This and other fine art photography images of Northeast England subjects are available to purchase as Wall Art via my online store
