In this special episode of our podcast, we dive deep into the world of photography competitions, a topic we've touched on before but feel deserves further exploration given the current landscape. We are joined by a diverse panel of guests: Sam Ferris, Dave Cassini and Eduardo Ortiz, each bringing their unique perspectives and experiences with competitions.

Sam shares insights from his experience running the Aussie Street competition, emphasising the importance of transparency and community engagement.

Eduardo expresses his frustrations with the lack of transparency in many competitions, noting that the judging process often lacks clarity and fails to provide real value to participants.

Dave, who straddles both the art and street photography worlds, shares his journey of entering competitions and the lessons learned along the way. He emphasises the importance of entering well-established competitions that offer genuine opportunities for exposure and community engagement, rather than those that seem to prioritize profit over participant experience.

Ultimately, our conversation centers around the idea that while competitions can be beneficial, they must be approached with caution. We encourage our listeners to support competitions that prioritise community, transparency, and genuine engagement, while being wary of those that exploit the desire for recognition without offering meaningful returns.
