I don’t just think it’s about “being adults” which is a fine point in and of itself – we should all read T&Cs before entering competitions. However, perhaps it would be best if DPR only listed competitions which don’t take all your rights or have insane indemnity clauses in them. There are so many competitions out there, even if you take out the dodgy ones there are still plenty to enter. Also, but listing them, it ‘slightly’ gives the impression DPR approve of them, especially when they’re listed under this headline.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
