Hi all, I'm from JB , I'm a freelance photographer as well as a graphic designer, currently have my own website that I made to showcase my photography portfolio, a friend recently told me to be daring and join any photo contest that is available through online, so I decided to give it a go because well, no harm right? But I couldn't find any of it, those that I've found is already long pass the closing date, so I turn to here in hope to ask all you sifus how/where can I find/join photography contest ?

social media, almost all of them advertise there. You should read the rules carefully tho. By entering a contest, you are giving your images an exclusive rights to organizer and you can't longer using the same image for other contests, or commercial licensing. That's just basic for any photo contests, most people doesn't care or knows how it works. It's also the cheapest for any organizers to get "free" photos.

Here's one https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/seagateperfectshot
