photography contests regularly.
Many of the sites that conduct graphic
design contests have some very substantial prizes in cash or sometimes in kind

a way to keep abreast of what is going on in terms of new contests,
announcements as to winner and prizes etc. Seeing other peoples designs,
especially the winning entries can be inspiring and give you ideas for creating
your own graphic design.
