That is odd. You pay to enter.

@bertwert Could this be your shot at a really cool camera rig?

yes you do. I entered in 2014 in the "Best of Photography" and was a finalist. They keep all the finalists on the website for years. A few pro photographers in my area went on to be honorable mentions. Most juried shows I enter have an entry fee, and then they have awards for honorable mention, jurors choice, etc. Photographers Forum has a print magazine, subscription based.

Sorry the odd part to me was that I read "sponsor" and thought about it as a gift not a paid sponsorship. I had the wrong type of sponsorship in my head.

Maybe, but I'm not confident my photo would win to spend the $6.
I need to save up every last penny for bagpipes at the moment.
