To be sure, most contests are for generating revenue for the organization through submission fees - and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. But be aware that you can spend plenty of money on contests and walk away with little to show for it.

"Pause on the Stairs" took First Place in a contest in California |
Honestly, I rarely submit my images to contests. That said, there are a few criteria I look for when I do submit. Highest on my list is the juror(s). Is it someone I respect and want the chance to show my work to. Also important is whether my project fits into the theme or focus of the contest. A distant third down the list is the prize. Cash awards are great, but equally so is the chance to show my work to a respected audience.
So it's up to you. Even it you don't win anything there is a lot to be said for the process of trying.
