我现在希望自己的作品得到别人的认可，从而赚钱来定位我作品的持续产出，但这在中国不是主流，如果我能入围国外的比赛，可以帮助我在中国获得认可，我想在欧洲网络上提交一些参赛作品，但我不知道该如何参与

In my view, the obvious steps would be to enroll in educational programs in Europe or the US. This can be formal education at institutions (academies), or you could try and find more temporary programs intended to support young artists, or even short workshops. This will help you to build a network and also to understand what is currently fashionable in the West. The latter is relevant; while artists and fine arts photographers are evidently autonomous to an extent, it's still a bit of a popularity contest and certain themes and approaches are more in vogue than others.

Also, the old saying "it's not what you know, but whom you know" is also true in the arts world. Building a network is essential.

If you're looking to do freelance commissioned work (portraiture, weddings etc.), it's a whole different ballgame and competition will be even fiercer.

Frankly, the goal you've set for yourself is pretty challenging. I understand that China may be a difficult place to make it as a photographer, but it's not exactly easy in the West, either.

Finally, I think it's important to understand that the majority of people active on forums like Photrio are amateur photographers with more of a technical interest than an artistic one. While we all appreciate beautiful and compelling images, the odds of being 'discovered' on this particular forum are small.

在我看来，显而易见的步骤是在欧洲或美国参加教育计划。这可以是机构（学院）的正规教育，或者您可以尝试找到更多旨在支持年轻艺术家的临时计划，甚至是短期研讨会。这将帮助您建立网络，并了解西方当前流行的事物。后者是相关的;虽然艺术家和美术摄影师显然在一定程度上是自主的，但这仍然是一场人气竞赛，某些主题和方法比其他主题和方法更流行。

此外，俗话说“重要的不是你知道什么，而是你认识谁”在艺术界也是如此。建立网络至关重要。

如果你想做自由职业者委托的工作（肖像画、婚礼等），这是一个完全不同的球赛，竞争会更加激烈。

坦率地说，你为自己设定的目标非常具有挑战性。我知道中国可能是一个很难成为摄影师的地方，但在西方也不容易。

最后，我认为重要的是要明白，像 Photrio 这样的论坛上活跃的大多数人都是业余摄影师，他们更关心技术而不是艺术。虽然我们都欣赏美丽而引人注目的图像，但在这个特定论坛上被“发现”的几率很小。

你说得太对了，但我可能走不了正统的教育路线，所以我会努力的
