A contest can be a competition for a prize.
Contest is the attendance or group of people. The concept, from the Latin concursus , is used to name collaboration, participation or assistance in some matter.
Contests can be competitions between several participants to obtain a prize or reward. For example: "Those who want to participate in the contest must submit their work before August 15" , "The jury will announce the name of the winner of the contest in the next few hours" , "I have just finished my first novel and I am going to present it in a contest" .
Artistic competitions
Currently, given the increase in demand and supply of art that has allowed advances in communications, although there are more opportunities to become known, there are also many more people trying to find their place in the market at the same time. time. This makes the first steps difficult, especially if you do not have the necessary resources to cover the expense of publishing a literary work, for example. In these cases, a contest can be the door to success .
Participating in contests, therefore, is an excellent decision for those people who intend to dedicate their lives to music or literature, since the prizes usually include the publication and distribution of the works, and that is without counting the promotion that naturally follows. of this type of competitions.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of disbelief around artistic competitions, due to the lack of legitimacy of certain juries. It is very difficult to detect honesty in this world, but that should not stop us, since the mere preparation to participate in a contest keeps us moving and forces us to review our work, which has a positive impact on a qualitative level.

The advantages that the Internet offers
Thanks to the spread of the Internet , more and more competitions accept the submission of works by email, which significantly reduces the costs and time necessary to participate. If we take the example of a narrative contest, specifically a novel, in which it is required to send the printed text in duplicate, it is likely that we are talking about an average of 500 pages, which entails a negligible expense of ink and paper, without forgetting the postal service.
If we add to this that the greater the distance, the higher the cost of sending by mail, it is understandable that not all writers can participate in all the international contests held each year, unless the physical format is gradually abandoned in after digital.
In the case of music, something peculiar happens, since the opportunity to send recordings instead of physically presenting themselves for preselection brings with it the problem of quality . This makes it still more convenient for many to hold all auditions in person.
Other types of contests
Another type of contest is the competition between those who intend to develop a work or provide a service under certain conditions. The entity that promotes the project analyzes the proposals of all the contestants and chooses the one that offers the greatest benefits: "The provincial government opened a competition for the construction of a new hospital in the western area," "We are happy because our company won the competition for the provision of technical support to the telecommunications services of the Police» , «To participate in the competition, we must present our proposal in the coming days» .
Sometimes, to grant a position or grant some type of honor, a competition is organized where applicants present their merits to access the reward: "I am going to appear in the competition for the chair of Economics" , "The university will call for a competition" to fill vacancies .
In the field of law , we speak of bankruptcy to refer to the universal judgment that allows the assets of a non-commercial debtor to be used to pay his creditors.
