The below information if from their site: History The Nikon Photo Contest International has been held by Nikon Corporation since 1969 to provide an opportunity for photographers around the world to communicate and to enrich image-making culture for professionals and amateurs alike. In the last 10 years, with the wide penetration of digital cameras with video capabilities, the environment surrounding image-making has dramatically changed. Adapting to this change, the 34th contest was reconceived, changing its name and its structure, and it continues to evolve to create new standards and provide new opportunities for discovery. Vision The Nikon Photo Contest nurtures an aspirational community that supports photographers and filmmakers who wish to share important stories and influence the way people think through images. For a very small entry fee, http://www.motifcollective.com allows photographers to take part in photographic competitions where they are independently judged by professional photographers. The industry does have a number of Photography Competitions but other than the once a year hosted events by the Big Camera manufacturers there are only a handful of providers supporting monthly competitions with cash awards. The majority of online completions do not support photographers very well, they charge entry fees without giving out cash awards and those that do only give out a flat rate with no regard for how much in entry fees were collected. The demand for competitions has grown exponentially in the past few years’ right along with the digital photography market and although the exact number is not known it is estimated that over one million paid submissions are made each year. With The Motif Collective winners of the online photography competitions will receive, web promotions, press releases and cash awards which are financed by the entry fees. Where competitors are only paying out an average of 0-9% of their entry fees, Motif will always pay out 50% of all entry fees to the top three Awards Spots in each competition. Competitions will be hosted monthly and the more competition an event has the larger the prize will be. Initially they plan to just offer one new theme each month with the complete focus of the event on single subject  We have always been a fan of their gear and love sharing this opportunity to win a piece of it and be featured by one of the finest Photography Companies in the business as well. The contest is free to enter and has a deadline of 31 may 2015.
