Brief
PLEASE NOTE that this is a minimal Photoshop challenge, with no black and white images allowed. Click on 'The brief in detail' for our submission guidelines. The world’s towns and cities have become a breeding ground for contentious architecture, which is always a hot topic for debate. Are imposing contemporary constructions acting as a positive solution to growing populations and a lack of space, or are they irreversibly damaging traditional vistas and skylines? Should concrete-heavy brutalist architecture be viewed as a blight on 20th Century design, or a poignant reminder of how we can rebuild our communities in the aftermath of war and natural disaster?
Buildings good, bad or downright ugly can so often be the subject of powerful photography. We want to see your best photos of architecture that divides opinion - BUT, this is a minimal Photoshop challenge. Click on 'The brief in detail' for more information.

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.
