Shoot and Share Photo Contest Results
Back in January of this year, I entered a photography contest. This contest is unique from other photo contests. In this contest, you can submit up to 50 images. There are 27 categories to choose from. After submissions close the images are voted on by people all over the world. Four images appear on the page at a time and it is the world's job to decide their favorite image out of the 4. Then a new set appears and so on. There are 10 rounds of voting and in each round, a large number of images are removed in hopes of narrowing down the photos to the final best images.
For the 2022 year, there were 117,853 images entered by 3,899 photographers from 107 countries. There were awards for making it to the top 30%, 20%, and 10% of each category. Then if an image made it to round 10 it was awarded as a finalist. There were also awards for making it into the top 100 in the category and overall winners of each category. I came away with 41 awards. Here is the breakdown of how I did in each category.
In the Sports category, there were 1,659 Photos entered. I am thrilled and honored that I won first place overall. I also got 13th place as well as some other awards.
