There are a lot of cool photography contest on Hive. A lot of them are organised weekly. Some of them have the same or recurring themes where others have new subjects every week.
It's fun to compete in them and you can even win some upvotes, Hive or other tokens.

Since it's difficult to keep track of all of them I'm creating this weekly blog post in which I sum up all these photography contests I know of.
The table below shows the different contests and links to the contest post of this week.
Be sure to check the date because some end sooner than others.
I've also included a short description, the rules and the prizes you can win in the different photo contests further on in this post.

If you have any other photography contests that can be added to the list or have any other comments, please let me know.
You can also contact me when the information about any contest isn't correct anymore.
