This contest is for your environmental portrait photos of people. Environmental portraits are as much about the surroundings as the person or people in the image. This contest is for human subjects but animals may also appear if they help in the overall story, for example, a shepherd with sheep.
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.
