This contest is for your photos of obsolete or unwanted technology which has been abandoned or is clearly deemed superfluous to needs. In this context, abandoned means left in situ, so items which have been 'dumped' or otherwise disposed of would be outside the brief. Technology could mean factory machinery, personal electronics, infrastructure for distribution of power or communications etc or anything which has been manufactured to perform a function that did not exist before the Industrial Age but has now been abandoned. I hope you enjoy the contest, and I look forward to seeing the results.
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.
