How to Market or Compete with Photographs I have been taking photographs for years and I recently moved back to the States from Athens, Greece. I have taken three or four great pictures that people ask to buy on a regular basis when they see the print. I really believe that I could enter them in contests or sell them to a business or something. I just don't even know where to start. I really believe that I could enter these or market them... but what do I do? Where to do I start? Please help. thank you!!

The contest guide link above is old... Last updated 11/00. :-( One place that will get you some great exposure is a state or county fair. Here in SoCal, the Orange County Fair is coming up and I have 3 shots submitted. Also, major metro zoos usually have photo contests (images must be taken there).

Thanks for pointing out that photo contest link has gotten a little stale.

I work for the company alamy.com where anyone can submit images - as long as they are of the required technical (ie scanned) standard. This sounds like a pitch for the company, but I truly believe that it could be a good place to try out some sales of these images. Go to this link and have a look... (click on 'Contributors/Submit images' to find out how to submit). Good luck.
