Although documentary photography can, and should, be done in any colour, there's a certain historic legacy surrounding black and white documentary photos. This is a medium that takes away all the distractions of colour and enables the viewer to focus in on the primary subject and its tones, textures and shapes. Monochrome shots are a great way to carry a story - so why not try it out for yourself.

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.
