Hive Photography Contests
There are a lot of great photography contests on Hive. Many of them run weekly. Some have recurring themes, while others come up with a new subject each week.
It's fun to join, and you can even win upvotes, Hive, or other tokens. Joining photo contests is also a great way to grow your network and connect with other photographers.
Because it's not always easy to keep track of them all, I’ve started this weekly blog post. In it, I list all the photo contests I know about.
The table below shows the different contests and links to this week’s posts.
Make sure to check the deadline — some contests close earlier than others.
Further down, you’ll also find a short description of each contest, the rules, and what kind of prizes you can win.
If you know of any contests that I missed, or if something in the list isn’t correct anymore, feel free to let me know.
You can also leave a comment if you have suggestions or questions.

Thank you for sharing this information! I did not know about all this. I will reread again and try to understand better. Usually I post once a week or in 10 days, I am trying to be more active on hive, still new, so I don’t exactly know how to use it and what are the possibilities. So far, I just post, upvote other posts and write comments. Have a good day!
Photocontests are the perfect way to become more active. They stimulate you to go out and shoot photos. At least, that's how it works for a lot of people.
I can give you a mention when I post this weekly overview post.
You can also join the Hive Photographers Discord Channel if you have Discord and want to keep in touch with other photographers.
Thanks for the information! I don’t have discord; but should I install it, I will join of course! Ok, let me know. I hope to do something right and try to participate in the contest. These next days will be busy for me, but then it should be okay again. I enjoy taking photos and exploring new places.
You don't have to install Discord. You can run it from a browser.
You do have to make an account.
