Paid Street Photography Contests Are Just a Lottery Ticket

New street photography competitions are popping each year. Because the craft is so easily accessible, it's a sure-fire way for organizations to guarantee a high amount of entries. Not to mention a nice amount of money. I fail to take pay-to-enter photography competitions seriously. No matter how hard an organization tries to mask its intentions, we all know they're nothing more than money-spinners, and most of those who enter are buying a lottery ticket.
