Bragging about it is not a bad thing. I am all for it and allowed myself to bring my fees even higher. All I am saying, you should not fool yourself on why you are entering into this one. It\'s not like you are getting any feedback from it or they tell you how they judged it and how your image could\'ve been scored if you changed something. For that you need to enter the 16x20 or other respectable competitions.
Getting scores from WPPI is THE SAME as getting feedback from me. Sometimes I am right and sometimes I am full of shit. It\'s an opinion of just 1(or maybe 3) man and doesn\'t mean it\'s right and you should agree with it.
A year ago a friend of mine got a score of 75 on a print that won 4 major awards in other competitions. To me he should have at least gotten 82 for it as it was a very unique and emotional photo. 8x10 folks didn\'t think so.

I was trying to get my head around when you wrote \"This is the only thing you can get from the money you wasted on the entry fees.\" Right after you say you can get fame out of it. How then is the $15 entry fee a waste of money?
Now you tell us it also allows you to put your prices up too (So fame is not all it\'s good for). Sounds like that $15 is a very good investment. You should be an evangelist for this competition.
