Regional Photo Competition
Hello all. Just wanted to know some thoughts on this.
Recently I won an international photography competition with one of my photos. Off the back of this i had an email from inviting me to enter a regional photography competition. Something I have considered doing. Like with many photography competitions, there is a small entry fee which covers costs, prizes etc. But reading further into it, if you are shortlisted with one of your images, you then have to submit a physical, 500mmx400mm mounted print to be displayed. My initial thought is 'Isn't that what the entry is for?' I feel a bit uncomfortable with that. I'm not expecting any on my images to be selected, but the completion has some good sponsors providing prizes for each category winner, but i feel that the entry fee should cover the cost of printing and displaying the finalists work and the finalists should have to pay again, for this.
I wanted to know your thoughts and wondered if this was standard practice? Because I've not seen anything like this before.
