One of the perks of my job is that I regularly get to write about photography competitions. I love flicking through the winner's galleries to see what beautiful, thought-provoking images have captured the judge's eye and of course, whether I agree.
There is honestly a photography competition for every genre you can imagine; from aerial and underwater, to portraits, pets, action and architecture, it doesn't matter what your preferred style is, you'll find a competition to enter. While some competitions such as the Sony World Photo Awards (which is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious competitions in the world) are vast and varied, other competitions such as Capture the Atlas' Northern Lights Photographer of the Year are very subject-specific.
