FOCUS has teamed up with Peter Eastway and the 2024 Better Photography Magazine competition, a highly respected and professionally run photo competition, to offer some unique features & benefits for Focus Members. https://www.betterphotographyphotocomp.com/
A $5,000 cash prize pool is available in 4 categories (Classic Landscape, Revealing Nature, Emotive Portraiture and Open) plus the Photographer of The Year 2024 – which is the overall winner across all four categories.
Normal cost per entry is $20, but Focus Plus Members will receive a 25% discount ($5) for EVERY entry. (Focus Plus Members will receive an email containing their unique discount code to use at checkout on the competition website).
All entrants get five entries for the price of four until 30 April 2024. The competition closes on 7 May 2024.
So, a Focus Plus Member can submit five entries for $60, before 30 April, saving $20; and 10 entries for $120, saving $40 and so on.
This offer makes the Focus Plus membership upgrade even more compelling value. To upgrade to Focus Plus membership for an annual subscription of just $5, visit https://focusphotographers.org/focus-plus-members-area/
The Focus Plus Member discount code is also available in the Members’ Area of the Focus website, under Exclusive Focus Plus Discounts & Offers
These are all great reasons for Focus Members to enter the 2024 Better Photography Magazine competition. But there’s more :
Tick the Focus Member check box on the competition entry form to be eligible for the special Focus prize.
The highest-scoring entry from any Focus Member (provided they are not an outright Category winner or the Photographer of The Year) will win a special prize donated by Peter Eastway : a signed and embossed A2 print valued at $495.
Entrants have to tick a box on the entry form to indicate whether they are a Focus Member, but if they are not they can ignore it. We can obviously check whether the winner is, in fact, a Focus Member. This applies to all Focus Members, not just Focus Plus. The winner can choose a photo of their choice from Peter’s personal website. www.petereastway.com.
There are a number of benefits and additional reasons for entering the 2024 Better Photography competition :
- Every entry receives a judge’s feedback comment designed as positive encouragement to help you improve your photography.
- Not everyone will win a prize, but every image is judged by three AIPP Grand Masters of Photography (Peter Eastway, Tony Hewitt & David Oliver) and every image gets a score. That’s a formidable line-up. It has been the same panel of judges for many years, to ensure consistency of judging and commentary.
- The highest-scoring images will be awarded Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards. Contestants often like to celebrate their achievements by sharing their certificates on social media.
The five for the price of four offer closes on 30 April 2024. Entries close 7 May 2024. Announcement of winners is planned by 15 June 2024.
It is often said that entering photography competitions is good for your photography. Entering some of your best work to win a prize, or an accolade can be your main motive. The 2024 Better Photography competition also offers you the chance to improve your photography over time. The highly experienced and professional judging panel has been consistent over many years. Each entry receives a score, which you can obviously compare over the years as you progress, and a feedback comment designed to help you improve an aspect of your work.
Good luck, and enjoy !https://www.betterphotographyphotocomp.com/
