Here’s a start of a list of lists—all about finding the right competitions, grants and awards. There are so many available but I find most of them are not worth the time and expense of applying.
Mary Virginia Swanson: List of approaching deadlines
Swanson is well known in the photo world. I had a chance to met her briefly at Review Santa Fe but not for a one-on-one portfolio review session. I heard a number of other photographers talking about how useful her advice and encouragement has been.
PhotoShelter’s Rachel Hulin: here and here
A great resource even though she has ended that blog and now set up shop as simply A Photography Blog.
Without Lenses: Events
Erin is a co-member of BAPC and does great work with Web UI and alternative process photos.
New York Foundation for the Arts
This site offers access to the most comprehensive list of resources for artists in the nation, opening doors to the widest range of financial, educational, technological, and institutional resources and information.
