Ghosts have featured in the folklore of most cultures for millennia. Your photographs should feature a ghostly figure as part of the composition which might be an otherwise perfectly normal scene. The ghost could be an obvious representation or a subtle, almost invisible, presence that the viewer might initially miss seeing. The ghostly figure may be either human or animal and there may be more than one figure. You may achieve the effect by any means: this could include double exposure in the camera or with an editing application. Colour or monochrome images are acceptable.
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.
