  1. Please waive the entry fee for participating in the competition as I can’t afford the entry fee in pounds from India.

  2. Sorry Rajat Kumar Das, I cannot waive the fee as I am not an organizer. Please contact them directly at http://tpoty.com/index.html

  3. As per your fees is concern most of the photographer are not interested to participate in your contest because during the travel time, photographer already spend good amount of money in travel and other thing also, So if its possible you may can waive the fee for participate in the contest.

  4. Chanchal Ganguly, I cannot waive the fee as I am not an organizer. Please contact them directly at http://tpoty.com/index.html

    I doubt they will be able to waive it

  5. Yea , i am also in agreement , Its not economicly viable for anyone to enter this comp. I could pick up a lens ( 2nd hand ) for that ammount …

    I feel that by placing a entry fee , its a form of discrimination to others across the world , and why would a Photographer PAY to GIVE someone ussage rights to thier photos ?

    We take HUGE chances when entering compitions , we do not know what really happens to our photos , and if they are used in publications there is ussaly nothing we can do about it..

    Did you see how many entries the Sony Awards got ? What a awesome experience to have entered in that comp.

  6. Hang on a minute, guys. No one’s forcing us to enter these things! There are some good free contests out there, sure, but most of the big ones do charge entry fees. The Sony one is an exception, but I wonder how much Sony spend to run it? They must be getting something out of it!

    And you can always check a contest’s rules to see what they do with your images. I enter quite a few contests and, in my experience, the free ones are often the worse for claiming usage rights.

    I’ve entered TPOTY in the past. Never won, but there you go! I’ll probably have another try this year!

  7. Tina, I am glad you wrote the above comment. Thank you!

    By the way, would you like to share your experience of entering various contests and probably winning some? I will be happy to publish your story here for others to learn from

  8. I’m new to entering photo contests, but I find this website interesting. I’m curious to know what the prizes are for this competition- TPOTY Awards 2009. Thanks.

  9. Lindsay, I think you can always ask this question to the organizers at tpoty.com

  10. Entering into a photo contest with entry fee, to me is like a gamble. Sometimes I know I have very powerful images for a particular contest, where chances of winning are very bright, but I do not send my entries, because I am a photographer not a gambler.
    Why should I ask to waive off the entry fee? May be it’s their buisness.
