• The Focus Project is a year-long photography competition to showcase photos from all genres — documentary, portrait, still life, etc. They will award one grand prize winner with a reception in New York City, $10,000 in cash, a video documentary and an online feature published by Artists Wanted. But there are also weekly and monthly winners where you can win $500 and $2,500 respectively. (The cash prizes total $75,000.) The deadline is Feb. 14, 2012. Go here for more details.
• 7.7 magazine — whose aim is to be a refuge for documentary photography stories — also puts on a yearly photo contest, with the winner selected from their four editions over the year. The prize is €2000 and the deadline is Oct. 15, 2011. Go here for more details. (While you’re there check out their latest issue)

Just a heads up…the deadline for The Focus Project is Feb. 14, 2012 not 2011. I’ll take this opportunity to thank you for your continued good work.
Yes, you’re right…I knew it was a year off, that’s why I posted on it. Thanks for the tip.
