Brief
From castles and seaside piers to country fairs, Beefeaters and fish & chips, the culture, people and places of Britain offer plenty of scope for varied and unique imagery. In this round we are looking for images that communicate British-ness in all its forms. Whether you live in Britain, or are visiting for a while, we are looking forward to seeing your shots of good old Blighty. If you are stuck for ideas take a look at travel guidebooks or spend a while browsing ‘Britain’ in an online stock library. Try to avoid clichéd shots of Buckingham Palace, red phone boxes etc – we want to see your own personal vision of Britain.

How it works
Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended. In this contest, the entries are hidden until 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.
