This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s Leaderboard.
Crowds provide interest on a macro and a micro level. It’s fascinating observing and shooting the mass of a crowd, the coming together of so many souls into one space, to watch, celebrate, cheer, demonstrate. Images can be packed with many stories and much energy. Closer-up, individuals in the crowd can provide a focus for observing crowd behaviour, and the intensity of emotions that often comes with being in a crowd and at the sort of places they converge.
Ranked Contests are a weekly chance to compete alongside photographers of a similar Leaderboard ranking. Three contests with the same theme run at one time - for photographers ranked 1-250; 251-1000; and 1001+. They open Saturday morning after that week’s leaderboard has been updated, and are open for 5 days. They are Premium Contests, Expert-judged, but with no Crowd vote, so are worth 3x the standard ranking points.
This contest is expert judged only with no rating by the crowd. You will be able to find out how you did when the judging or rating period has closed.
