<p>I'm quite a fanatic of photography, but because it's something I do completely out of school there's little I can do to show my interest. However, I am a registered contributor on numerous image stock websites (such as iStockPhoto) and have had some of my pictures accepted though that, from which I can earn money. I haven't had any photos published in magazines or anything though. Is this something worth mentioning on my college app, or is it something colleges won't find that impressive?</p>
<p>Have you earned any money from the stock sites? Are there contests you could enter? I think it’s worth mentioning, but it’s even better if you can demonstrate achievement.</p>
<p>I’ve earned a little bit of money from the stock sites (for each photo that one buys, I get about 50% of the share) - but nothing phenomenal (under 100 dollars xD). The stock images were only submitted a few months ago, though. I will check if there are some competitions I can enter. I found one where about 5000 people submit photos to National Geographic magazine and a few people’s photos get selected for publishing in both the magazine and the website. I will try and work towards that and also look out for other competitions. If you know any that I can enter as an international then please mention them :D</p>
