if you win a prize in a photography competition - does that mean you can style yourself as an 'award winning photographer' ?

:mooning:

PS please can we have some minion smilies?
 
I think some people style themselves as award wining photographers if they have a bronze swimming certificate

I suppose so, but ... The question is, would you want to? Depends very much on the prize, I guess!

Also, you're setting yourself up for a fall if you do, because there'll then be an expectation that you're a cut above the average. Unless you can consistently deliver exceptional images time after time I think I probably wouldn't.

this is true - but in general it seems to be the mediocre or beginner (or often both) who rely on saying on their websites that they are award winning - the experienced pro who can reliable deliver exceptional work doesn't need to because the quality of his or her images speaks for itself
 
A prestigious competition could be worth crowing about - more so than membership of some of the societies, some of which allow the use of their initials simply by paying the fee to the family concerned...

Its a fair cop. If I ever had any "mojo" it's definitely disappeared of late. I think Ive realised I prefer looking at landscape/wildlife pics to actually taking them.

TBH I think there are a lot of members on here that feel the same way,
there's nothing wrong with that in the slightest BTW :)

I haven't got any spare Mojo.....But I have a Fruit Salad you can have :-)
 
I have no wish to inadvertantly offend the confectionery :lol:
 
Gold star award on Flicr ?

An national award from a prestigious body, organisation or company can add kudos.

In a fortnight or so, I shall enjoy a Mojo (with an "it" after the "j") to help celebrate my 2nd rebirthday. Unfortunately, the bar that made the best Mojitos has closed but I'm sure I can find another one to do the honours!!!
