Announcement: Enter Your Images in the Tdot Shots Photo Contest 2023
We are stoked to announce the photo contest will go live on October 15 and run until November 30.
A photo contest is a great opportunity to focus your photography pursuit on a short-term project, with an intention to improve your skills and try to win one of the prizes!
Prizes and Sponsor
For prizes, we offer photography gear and accessories to runner-ups and $100 professional photo printing credits to winners of 3 categories, courtesy of our sponsor Prolab Canada. We welcome them back to our 5th contest collaboration! Visit their site for high-quality photo printing.
Categories and Rules
We allow your images across three categories including: City & Town aka Cityscape & Street, Landscape (Land, Sky, Water and human-made elements permitted), and the new category Art & Edit. We are excited about this new creative category and encourage participants to go out of their way to show their creative process and alternate images (including the original).
