Environmental portraiture draws attention to a subject and their usual environment, and often tells a story about that person's life and surroundings. It could be a teacher in a classroom, a trader on a market stall, a hairdresser in a salon, a builder on a construction site, a jogger in a park, or just someone at home... the list goes on and on. Digital Photographer magazine and MindShift Gear are giving away great prizes in this contest – let's see your best environmental portraits.

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.
