Are photography competitions worth it?
I shoot purely for fun and in my own free time, and have submitted to the Sony World Photography Awards for free once or twice. Didn't win anything but I was like what the heck and did it anyway. Some advice I've read include making sure you understand what happens with your photos once you've submitted them, and who has the rights to them, coz if you're not careful ur submissions end up as marketing material etc. but I'm certain there will be way more useful comments after this haha More on reddit.com

Sony World Photography Award 2023: Winner refuses award after revealing AI creation

You can tell by looking at the fingers and more specifically the finger nails that the photo isn't real, and that's with my (relatively) untrained eye. There are other signs too (the light and shadows don't quite work, woman behind the front woman's head looks like it's clipping through the front woman). This is obviously more obvious given that it was called out as fake, and if a professional photographer had represented it as real, maybe a contest judge could be fooled, but professionals should find the image at least suspicious (I would think).

Something tells me this was some kind of stunt, with the contest/event participating along with the artist.

Not saying that AI images can't fool the naked eye of a photo contest judge, just that this whole situation strikes me as odd.

3 days ago - Entering a competition like this is a good way to test the old theory that the best camera is the one that you have with you – leave your ‘real’ camera at home. Flying Boys by Dimpy Bhalotia won the iPhone Photography Awards in 2020.

(Continue to) be wary of the “iPhone Photography Awards”
August 15, 2025 - Various (supposedly) well respected photography websites are still unquestioningly posting/promoting these “awards.” The IPPAwards still have no information on who their jury members are, still obfuscating the prizes (still ONE GRAM of gold or silver – they seemed to have removed the Apple Watch 3 and iPad from the prize list although there are still images of them on the Competition page at the bottom) and they continue to say photographers retain copyright on their images yet slap their own copyright mark on the website images.
