We had another quick view at some more competitions today in lecture
AOP and Nat Geo are both well established competitions and they have a "pay per single entry" fee however I do not think I will be entering these because of the reputation and standing of these is quite off putting as I do not feel my work is up to the same standard as featured works.
We were introduced to the terms and conditions of some competition; reading these is important as it states who is eligible to enter and the requirements for the photographs that get entered. Different contests require different file sizes and if this is not explicitly followed then it will lead to your photographs being disqualified. Some websites even have specific requirements for naming files that are entered.
We were also shown a presentation about different careers in the photographic industry that were not photographing specific. These include:
Curator (gathers / organises work for exhibits)
Editor (selects the 'best' photographs to show)
Researcher (archives works, writes photographic theorys / academic books)
Teacher
Retoucher (post production work)
Arts Organiser (organises events, council members)
Critic (reviews others works/exhibition)
Assistant (helps for novice photographers/builds portfolio)
Printer
Sales (selling works/frames/photography gear)
