International Press Association Launches "Not Another Photo Contest!"

Photo competitions can be incredibly difficult to enter. They've often got restrictions regarding subject matter or message and commonly charge a fee for entry. The first photo contest from the IPA has none of that.

As the official writeup puts it, there are "no fees to pay, no contributions to our favorite charities, no restrictions on the subject matter (within reason of course) and so many prizes that the chances of winning are way up there."

There are categories for Amateur and Pro photographers so you'll be competing on an even playing field and the prizes include huge software bundles, tripods, backpacks and more. You can get more information and enter for yourself on the IPA website.
