Competitions- Make your name known

There are literally thousands of ways a photographer can go about making a name for themselves.  One of the best ways is by winning competitions.  Surprisingly, it doesn't usually matter which competition you win.  The clients just like to see that your work is coming out ahead of other photographers, even if they have never heard of the competition.  Of course, as photographers we want to win the top competitions known to man.  Winning these is HUGE, but even winning small local competitions can give your career a big boost!
