Brief
This contest is created and judged by a member of the Photocrowd community. Want to run your own? Find out more >

I would like to see your most creative colour or monochrome photographs taken in zoos around the world. Zoos, also known as zoological gardens, are establishments that maintain collections of wild animals, typically in a park or garden setting for study, conservation and display to the public. Please note that whilst standard “animal portraits” are most welcome, in my judging I shall be looking for more challenging or creative submissions which perhaps portray the day to day running of the zoo or give an insight into your feelings about zoos in general. You might want to show me interactions between the animals and the public, zoo-keepers at work, how the animals engage with their enclosed environments or even views of the zoo grounds and building exteriors or interiors. I look forward to seeing zoos around the world as viewed through your eyes.

How it works

Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. You can see all the images uploaded to a contest, but will need to rate them to see how they’re ranked once the rating period begins.

Some contests on Photocrowd also have a judge. After the submission period closes the judge chooses their favourite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
