This is a compilation of my favorite photography contests on steemit. I started this list offline to keep track of the contests that I am interested in and figured I might as well share it online.

All times are given in my timezone: PST - USA west coast (you may need to convert it for your location).

For all contests, only photos taken and owned by the submitter may be used!

_{I'll update this post as/if new contest topics get announced/updated in the coming few days}
