I found paying for the completion tickets time consuming but maybe it was just me and maybe ill manage better next time.
I dont enter many photo competitions as im a hobbyist not much good with the technical stuff about size of mbs I got refused in the past because files were to small but I tried today with a photo and it seems ok.
Im sure if I regularly post ill learn how to send in photos to the competitions.
By the way the prize draw seem very good value with excellent camera gear on offer. Thanks for reading.

Really enjoyable experience using Camera Competitions, I've won credit as well as a Canvas print. Every time I've had interaction with them via email and on their draw pages, I've always thought the staff members were super pleasant and always provide you with the details you request in a speedy and pleasant manner. I shall continue to use this site as I find the whole experience very enjoyable.

Built by photographers for photographers
Easy to use website, great prizes, great odds and a very friendly team. A great community of photographers, and monthly photographic challenges make this feel more like a tribe than just another competition site. It is built by photographers for photographers and enthusiasts which really sets Camera Competitions apart.

Excellent prizes
Apart from the excellent prizes I think the main attraction of the competition is that you can see on u-tube the draw numbers being randomly picked which gives confidence in the fairness of the draw.

Biased scam
Biased, fake money making machine that doesn't appreciate all styles of photography. Waste of money. Tried again and again, with some photos that got recognised by those who appreciate real skill and few local and international photo contests. Some people here win again and again (read the comments) while others don't stand a chance, no matter how hard they try or how good their photo is. Shovinistic, too: mainly male photographers win, female photographers barely have a chance. Not wasting my money again.
I can't write a response but my review will be deleted if I don't verify ? Thats "nice"
Well here is "verification":
As for our paid competitions, these are completely separate from Picture of the Week. Winners are selected at random, independently of the photographs they take, their gender or how often they have entered. Some people may win more than once simply because, in a random draw, previous winners are not excluded from entering again.
Response: Oh, so people make an effort, when they take photo, plan it, execute it, pay for contest and then they go into some random draw instead of a photo being actually selected on it merit and concept and technical skill?
We also feel that describing the feature as “chauvinistic” is particularly unfair. We have a female presenter involved in our draws, but more importantly, our winners are not selected by our team based on who they are, their photography, or their gender. Photography is open to everyone, and every entrant has the same opportunity to win, with the winner determined by the independent random draw process explained above.
Response: I beg to differ. There is no information about judging PANEL anywhere on the website I could find. Only a photo of some guy who is meant to be the expert judge. There are some female winners, thats true, but its still dominated by male winners by over 70%.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way, although we’re a little unclear whether you’re referring to our photography competitions or our free Picture of the Week feature.
If you are referring to Picture of the Week, this is completely free to enter, so there is no cost or “waste of money” involved. The winning image is selected by the previous week’s winner, specifically to ensure that the decision is made independently and not by our team. This is designed to remove any potential bias from us when choosing the winner. Facebook winners are also selected based on the number of views the entry receives.

We’re always happy to hear constructive feedback, but we do think it’s important that any concerns are based on how our competitions actually operate rather than assumptions about how winners are selected.
Good Range of Prizes
I liked the range of different equipment up for grabs, reasonable priced entry.l would like to see more Nikon Z accessories as a Nikon owner like individual lenses especially zoom or longer primes over 200mm. That and flashguns.
But overall l really like the ease of the site to use, and how quickly the competitions have a finish date, and don't drag on for ever.

Thanks very much for the review and for the suggestions — it’s really useful to know what you’d like to see more of.
We’ve recently started trialling competitions for cameras on their own, rather than always pairing them with other equipment. For example, we currently have a Nikon competition running on its own, so hopefully we can offer more of these going forward.
I’ll also add longer lenses, including 200mm+ options, to our planning. Flashguns are a great suggestion too, so we’ll look at those as well.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave the feedback, and we’re really pleased you’re enjoying the range, ease of use and the fact that our competitions don’t drag on!

Over the last couple of weeks I entered a few draws for various camera setups I was interested in, without any success. However, today I won a £25 web credit, I didn't even realise I had entered that particular draw!
