I post many photography posts a week but have somehow not heard of this contest. Guess its cause its just once a month.
Photo contests are my favorite. I don't like the fee aspect but if it filters out shit entries then thats a good filter. Also if it helps facilitate a quality contest then its good too.
I will give you a follow for sure and consider entering. I have lots of gorgeous landscape shots.

@quinneaker thanks for your comment. I have been promoting the Steem Photo Awards at the bottom of all my posts. I'm quite new here so I guess you haven't seen much about the awards.
If you have a look at the winners you will see why I put in extra effort to make this a premium photography competition. You are correct in saying that it weeds out a lot of bad entries. At this point in time the prizes of 100 SBD in total far outweighs the entries fees coming in, so I'm basically giving it away.
I'm all about giving back to the community to. I love to share my photography knowledge and help others - like in this post. Thanks for following and I have certainly followed back.
Indeed, I checked you out on my own accord, I can see you have value to contribute and you care about being a part of that.
I wasn't saying you were trying to make money on the entries as I do see how much is being paid out. Just seems that it actually keeps a lot of people from entering, however if thats what you want to do in order to weed out low quality entries its the best filter in my mind. If you WANT a lot more participation I would recommend getting rid of the entry fee.
Also the way most successful competitions are successful is getting a "whale" sponsor who is happy to throw down 100Steem in order to help steemit community engage.
They are certainly some good points @quinneaker. I'm happy using my earnings from posts to fund the Steem Photo Awards. Overtime it might grow, who knows? At the end of the day it's just about challenging a few people to really try and take better photos :) thanks for your support and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Great connecting with you. I will follow your progress and defiantly consider entering one of your contests!
