  Sounds fishy, but it might be legit. Before getting involved, make sure they are not asking you to send money. It could be another International Library of Photographers type setup.

  I looked at their website. It bothers me that you have to pay a fairly steep entry fee.

  Dennis - thanks for the input, I too was a little taken back at the entry fee, however I have heard that some judged contest do charge an entry fee. I have never tried one so am not sure if it is legit.

There was one that a company I work for entered every other year for published adds and they charged an entry fee.

  Anytime I get an e-mail out of the blue telling me about an "international" photo contest--and to send $$s to do it, my "BS" flag goes up. Of course, I have no idea if this is legit. If you're willing to risk $35, then what the heck.

I do know Parade Magazine has a legitimate contest coming up...free, and you can enter as many as you like. Here's the URL for the information: http://www.parade.com/celebrate/index.html

  Ken - I have to agree with you on this one, I am just not willing to risk $35 to find out. I have received an email from Parade Mag about their contest and intend to enter, but thanks for the heads up anyway.
