Friends, it’s my favorite part of January and February! The Shoot and Share Photo Contest just started yesterday! I look forward to this every year! It’s the highlight of my winter. I spend HOURS every day voting – it’s so addicting!

Each year, Shoot and Share hosts an amazing and totally FREE photo contest for all photographers from around the world to submit to. They do it out of the kindness of their hearts to bring the photography community together. They want us to encourage each other and celebrate EVERYONE’s successes!

How It Works:
What makes this contest stand out from any other photo contest I’ve seen is that it’s completely free for you to enter. That’s right, FREE! It’s so simple to use and SO fun to participate in. Here’s how it works, taken straight from the contest website, “You can enter up to 50 photos into 25 different categories. Then everyone can vote on your photos! You choose the winners. You are the judge. Everyone gets to vote. When the contest starts, we show you a group of 4 photos and you choose your favorite of the bunch. We’ll keep displaying random groups of four photos from the same category for as long as you want. You can vote as many times as you want.

The photographer’s name is never displayed during voting so each photo is judged on its own merit. Every photo is given equal opportunity to be voted on. It is displayed the same number of times to the voters as any other.”

The Prizes!:
Shoot and Share is partnering with some incredible companies to give over $250k in prizes! Cash prizes, free memberships, and workshops are included in this years prize pool. Maybe it’s just me but I do not know any other photo contest that offers THAT much in prizes! Wow!!

Some of their Partners include:

You can start submitting your photos NOW! Submissions go until February 10th and then the fun part begins, the voting! Voting starts February 15th and goes until March 10th. Winners will be announced shortly after!
