There are a lot of great photography contests on Hive. Many of them run weekly. Some have recurring themes, while others come up with a new subject each week.
It's fun to join, and you can even win upvotes, Hive, or other tokens. Joining photo contests is also a great way to grow your network and connect with other photographers.
Because it's not always easy to keep track of them all, I’ve started this weekly blog post. In it, I list all the photo contests I know about.
The table below shows the different contests and links to this week’s posts.
Make sure to check the deadline — some contests close earlier than others.
Further down, you’ll also find a short description of each contest, the rules, and what kind of prizes you can win.
If you know of any contests that I missed, or if something in the list isn’t correct anymore, feel free to let me know.
You can also leave a comment if you have suggestions or questions.
If you want to get notified when I post these Weekly Photography Contest blog I can add you to the list of followers. Just let me know in the comments 😊

Hello, friend @friendlymoose. I always receive your posts with information about photography contests and challenges, for which I am very grateful. I think there is a mistake in the title: I think it should be June-July 6, right? Best regards.
Thanks for the heads up! Changed it right away.
