This contest is for photos taken from inside forests or woods, as this creates an interesting lighting and compositional challenge. Although I expect most of the entries to be photos of trees, they can be of anything in the forest or wood as long as it is obvious the photo was taken from inside a forest or wood, not from the outside looking in or from above for example. If the photo is of something other than trees, or is of an individual tree, it still needs to be obvious from context that the photo was taken in a forest or wood. For example, a photo of a dog taken in a forest would only be 'on brief' if the forest can be clearly seen in the photo.
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.
