These are mainly competitions from external websites. dPS has no association to these websites and will advise in the thread if it does.

- Be aware of your rights in each and every competition! "Rights grabbing" competitions that take your copyright are very bad.

- Make sure you read the fine print for EVERY competition.

- dPS and its associates can not be held responsible for your resultant loss arising from entering a competition found via a link within the dPS forums.

I know the above sounds scary, and it is, but you need to be aware that sometimes companies can be pretty terrible and run a competition, not pay out the winnings and then own the copyright to your images - INSTANT PHOTO LIBRARY!

If you have any questions - please start a thread in this section for anything relating to photography competitions. Anything not relating to competitions will either be deleted or moved at the moderators discretion.

All the best!

My suggestion:

Search the Rights off list for the competition you are considering entering.
