The brief here is to create a fantasy world. You can use photoshop as much as you like to create this but its not essential as you can also use unusual locations and characters to get a great effect. By all means use dragons, fairies, robots, witches and elves, whatever floats your boat. This perhaps give you the opportunity to try some new techniques, youtube is a great source of instructional videos to master photoshop skills to help you create. Let your image tell a story.
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.
