I have to say that I don't really like competitions, though that might be connected to not winning any (in the days many years ago when I used to enter).
One problem is that people tend not to like the pictures that appeal to me and vica versa. The other problem is that it makes photography competitive, rather than simply a way to record something unusual, or appealing. I've just been looking at a photograph of a wasps nest on WPF. It might not win a competition, but it is in its own way remarkable due to an excellent subject which is not often seen.
