The List That Lists the Best Photography Competition Lists

Recently, a lots of lists have appeared in my Twitter/Facebook/Google+ feeds for photography competitions and grants. It must be that time of the year.

We all know that the traditional avenues for getting funding for serious, long-term bodies of work have dried up, but a lot of other new opportunities have also arisen, mainly in the form of grants and some competitions.

Some can be bit of a lottery, some require a good deal of time in entry preparation, but if you have a great project, there is a chance that there is an organisation out there that would like to help you develop it further.

So, below I present “The List That Lists the Best Photography Competition Lists”. Catchy.

In no particular order, these are some of the best lists that I’ve seen popping up in my feeds recently. Happy perusing.
