Street photography and monochrome go hand in hand, such is the history of photography that was shaped by documentary greats such as Cartier-Bresson, Doisneau, Maier, Atget, Evans and many more. The advent of colour photography did not sound the death knell for black and white photography. It continues to deliver a very different feel and focus to images, which for many remains a preferred approach to showcasing our world through photos.
This Premium Contest is worth 1.5x the standard points towards your Leaderboard ranking. It’s Expert-judged AND crowd-rated, with your score from each combined. Find out more about ranking points here. Our Experts are some of the world’s finest photographers, who select the best images, and provide valuable feedback to help you improve.
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.
