Learning Through Competition

Competitions can be a great way to improve your photography skills and learn new ways to see the world. Constructive feedback from judges can be a valuable learning tool, but it is important to remember that judging art is subjective. Judges cannot see inside your thought processes, so their feedback may not always align with your own vision.

  • If you like what a judge says, whether it is your photo or not, that is great.

If you find a judge’s feedback helpful, you can use it to improve your photos going forward. However, it is important to remember that not all feedback is created equal. Some judges may have more experience or expertise than others, so it is important to weigh the feedback you receive carefully.

  • If you disagree with what a judge says, that is okay too.

If you find a judge’s feedback to be unhelpful or inaccurate, you can choose to ignore it. Ultimately, the most important thing is that you are happy with your art.

  • You choose whether to use or ignore the judging comments.

You have the final say on whether to use or ignore the judging comments. If you find the feedback to be helpful, you can use it to improve your photos. However, if you find the feedback to be unhelpful or inaccurate, you can choose to ignore it.
