Please enter your photos of any species of fly in the order Diptera, which includes insects such as houseflies, mosquitos, hoverflies and craneflies. Please only enter photos of flies, no other insects or flying creatures. There is a lot of mimicry between insects so please make sure the image you are submitting is actually a fly; an easy way to identify a fly from a bee or wasp is flies only have only two wings while bees and wasps have four wings. I am looking forward to seeing your photos of these often under-appreciated insects.
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.
