More dirty photography... Food porn...

Here are a few photography contests you may be interested in.

The first is "Food Porn: The Tasty Art of Food Photography" from 1650 Gallery. This competition will not only give you the opportunity to be part of a show, but print sales as well. Submission deadline is November 2, 2011.

Next is "Abandoned", a contest sponsored by Profotio. You have a few ways of approaching this, several different options, it can be any kind of abandoned structure, interior, exterior, black and white, or color. Closing date for submissions is November 18, 2011.

Could you use $10,000? Then the National Geographic Contest 2011 may interest you, because that's the Grand prize. Though if you win I bet the prize money may be dwarfed by the changes (in your photographic) life winning would bring. Categories are People, Places, and Nature. Entries need to be submitted by November 30, 2011.

The Smithsonian Magazines 9th annual contest has a grand prize of a Smithsonian Journeys trip to Yosemite National Park. That would be pretty darn cool, imagine the photo opportunities that trip would present. There are five categories, Altered Images, Americana, the Natural World, People and Travel. This contest is open until December 1, 2011.

If that isn't enough to keep you busy you will find a listing of dozens of other photography contests here, here, and here.

Good luck.
