I often see astrophotography competitions dominated by star trails and the Milky Way. I want to challenge you to do something different. Our 5 billion year old solar system is a real challenge photographically, it's filled with thousands of wonderful objects from minor planets and asteroids, to numerous moons, ring systems, ice caps and canyons on Mars - and not forgetting our mighty star Sol. Are you up for this challenge? If so please only submit images of our solar system - absolutely no star trails, or sneaky shots of the Milky Way. Any such images will be considered outside of the rules (please vote them as 'not on brief even if they contain solar system objects). Good luck!
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.
