Brief

Still life photography is the perfect genre to get creative with, since all the variables are under your control. You don’t have to worry about the vagaries of the weather, or the mood of your subject. Spend as long as you want researching and planning your shoot, and then you’re free to experiment with lighting and composition until the effect is just as you want it. Let your imagination run free and then match it with technical skill.

Our Premium Contests are judged by some of the world’s finest photographers, who select the best submitted imagery, and provide valuable feedback that explains their choices, and helps you improve. Judges are confirmed towards the end of a contest. Premium Contests also carry more ranking points, so if you’ve got your eyes set on climbing the leaderboard, they’re a great way to achieve that.

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.
