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.

Press Release - The Motif Collective, a new internet start-up located in Fernandina Beach, Florida just launched its First Online Photography Competition.

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

Portrait 
A wide-open category that covers any photography of the human form, ranging from full-length studies through to head and shoulders and close-ups, with the emphasis on creativity. 

Fashion/Beauty
The glitz and glamour of the fashion and beauty world is covered by this category, and we’re looking for some inventive and exciting work that truly reflects the dynamism of this sector. 

Product 
Here the definition of product is as far ranging as the photographer wants to make it, with subjects ranging from cars through to food or packaging being equally eligible, while the brief could be a commercial one or self set. 

Architecture 
With every type of building from the grand through  through to the humble being open to photographers, we’re looking for an imaginative interpretation of the architectural theme.

Wildlife 
A wide open category that covers all forms of wildlife, from the huge through to the tiny. Our only stipulation is that images depict living creatures and any entries showing stuffed or dead animals will be automatically excluded. 

Project//21 
Project//21 is a general photographic category open to all amateur photographers, students, assistants and young professionals 21 years old and under. 

Street/Urban The category here is the realism of the genre; not just gritty street photography, but also the city itself (and it’s life) and the people who live in it.

Welcome to the Motif Collective were we are celebrating both our first Photography Competition and Blog post!

First off we are very excited to bring a new service to life  the Photography Community and hopefully help to raise the overall quality standard of the Competition Industry,  We understand that there is a lot of competition in the Independent Photography Competition market and that it will take some time for us to build a following that can only be done by establishing a reputation by producing sincerer quality work.   It may be quite around here for a bit and that is okay, we know how to build an audience to support the Photographers work we will be hosting and sharing with the world.
