MORE INFORMATION

Does any of these situations sound familiar?

  • You submit technically excellent photos to competitions, but consistently lose to works that seem worse to you
  • You feel frustrated because you don't know exactly what jurors consider when evaluating
  • You spend hundreds of dollars on competition fees with limited results
  • You're afraid to submit your work, fearing rejection and criticism
  • You don't know how to write an "artist statement" that will actually enhance your photos
  • You waste time entering competitions that don't match your style and vision

If any of these points resonate with you, you're not alone. Most photographers go through these same struggles. I went through them too... until I discovered what I'm now sharing with you in this ebook.

Who am I and why should you trust me?

Hi, my name is Marta Łosiewicz and I stand on both sides of the competition photography scene – as a multi-award-winning photographer and as a juror evaluating others’ work.

My adventure with photography began when I was just 7 years old. However, it wasn’t until after many years of working a “regular job” that I dared to follow my true passion. In 2020, I submitted my first competition entry and… won 3rd place! That was the beginning of a journey that led me to wins in prestigious competitions such as 35 Awards, Baby Photo Awards, Legacy Photography Awards, and many others.

But the most valuable lesson came when I became a juror – I could look “behind the scenes” of the evaluation process and understand what REALLY determines success.

This dual perspective – participant and juror – has given me a unique viewpoint that you won’t find in other courses or guides. I’m sharing with you not just theory, but practical observations from both sides of the competition photography scene.

I had the opportunity to read the ebook “How to Conquer the World of Photography Competitions” and I’m truly impressed by the depth of knowledge it contains. It covers topics not only from the participant’s perspective — their emotions and the artistic side — but also delves into the technical and tactical aspects of taking part in competitions. The perspective of a judge evaluating the work provides a wealth of information and helps to understand the expectations and intentions of the competition jury. Additionally, the photographs used in the publication, combined with the content, give the message an entirely new dimension.

Rafał W.

This ebook is a true gem for any photographer dreaming of success in photography competitions – regardless of their level of experience. The author not only reveals the behind-the-scenes work of a jury but, more importantly, teaches how to develop a personal style, tell a story through images, and approach competitions strategically. Particularly valuable are the case studies, the sections on writing an artist statement, and the chapters that show how to learn from failure and turn it into success. I highly recommend this ebook to anyone who takes photography seriously and wants to reach the next level.

Natalie P.

Drawing from her own experience and an analysis of best practices, Marta explains step by step how to prepare a portfolio, choose the right competitions, and effectively present your work. The ebook is divided into clear chapters covering topics such as techniques for creating striking images and the secrets of image selection. Especially valuable are the practical tips on developing a personal style, working on a project, and handling criticism.

Sylwia O.

If someone is looking for a golden recipe for success, this is definitely not the place. This guide is more of a journey, written through the author’s life experiences — a journey that encourages self-reflection. It helps not only to understand how competitions work, but more importantly, to understand where I, as a reader, currently stand — to gain insight into myself, my needs, and my expectations in the world of photography. Highly recommended.

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU

  • In this ebook, I share strategies and techniques that have worked in my own career and for many photographers I've worked with. While I cannot guarantee specific results (every photographer and every competition is different), I assure you that you'll find reliable, proven, and practical first-hand knowledge.
  • Success in competition photography is a process that requires time, commitment, and patience. My ebook is not a magic wand, but a compass that will help you navigate this path with greater awareness and strategic approach. Every page is filled with knowledge that I wish I had when I began my adventure with competitions.
  • As with any form of education, the results depend on your engagement, skills, and consistent application of the strategies learned. I am here to support you in this process, and your success is my top priority.

ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I’m a beginner photographer – isn’t this ebook too advanced for me?

Absolutely not! The ebook is designed to guide you step by step, regardless of your level of advancement. The first chapter explains the basics of competitions in detail, and subsequent chapters systematically build on this knowledge. Many of my readers are photographers who have never competed before and who achieved their first distinctions thanks to these strategies.

Will the strategies described in the ebook work in international competitions?

Yes, that’s one of the biggest advantages of this ebook! As a juror for international competitions and a photographer awarded worldwide, I share strategies that work globally. Even if your English photography terminology isn’t perfect, you’ll find ready-to-use templates and examples in the ebook that will help you prepare international submissions.

I’ve tried many guides already – how is this ebook different from others?

The key difference is my dual perspective – participant and juror. Most guides are written either by photographers who have won competitions (but don’t know what the process looks like from the jury’s side) or by jurors (who don’t have experience building a competition career). I combine both perspectives, sharing both winning strategies and the inner mechanisms of the evaluation process.

How quickly can I expect results after applying these strategies?

Many photographers notice the first positive results at the next competition after reading the ebook. However, the most spectacular effects usually come after 3-6 months of consistently applying the strategies. The included 12-week action plan is designed precisely to guide you through this initial, crucial period.

DON'T PUT OFF YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC SUCCESS UNTIL LATER

Every day of delay is a potentially wasted opportunity for a competition that could open doors to your photography career. In a world where thousands of photographers compete for jurors’ attention, you can’t afford a trial-and-error method that could take years.

This ebook is a shortcut through the arduous process of learning from your own mistakes – it’s direct access to proven strategies that took me from a beginner participant to an international juror and multi-award-winning photographer.

P.S. Imagine the moment when you open an email informing you that your photo has been recognized in an international competition. That feeling of fulfillment, recognition, and confirmation of your talent. This ebook can bring you closer to that moment faster than you think. Don't let another competition pass you by. Start your transformation today.
