Every start of the new year when I have my marketing talks with my photographers, I always advise to enter the relevant awards contests. Besides the obvious nod of being recognized amongst industry peers, awards contests are in and of themselves free PR and as such, offer multiple opportunities for sharing the work to an even wider audience. So imagine my surprise when I read Jamie Kripke‘s latest journal entry, titled Don’t Enter Awards Competitions. Jamie is a great writer and it is an interesting read, with a good ending.
