Reviews:

“I recently completed Mieke’s workshop on Entering Photo Competitions and learnt a lot from this well-researched and clearly presented online session. Mieke has a wonderful way of teaching and sharing information and the links and notes she provides afterwards are also very useful. If you are confused about which photography competitions to enter, how to go about getting honours and why you might consider entering competitions, I would encourage you to take this class."

"Entering Photography Competitions was the 3rd - but not the last - of Mieke's workshops I've been a part of. Entering competitions for me is a long way off, but I wanted to find out more about them. I loved Mieke's initial reasons why people enter them - very thought provoking in themselves - and the systematic way they were all dealt with. I always have high expectations of Mieke's workshops and have never been disappointed."
