Graffiti can be contentious, clever, subtle, simple, elaborate - but whatever form it takes, it’s often a great subject for photography. From single words or funny phrases to vast, complex murals, it can transform a public space into a canvas for expression and offer the photographer interesting textures and juxtapositions to capture. For this challenge, show us your best shots of graffiti!
The winner will receive a copy of The Popular History of Graffiti: From the Ancient World to the Present by Amanda Hallay and a copy of Subway Art by Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant.
Crowd-rating only – the winner will receive a copy of The Popular History of Graffiti: From the Ancient World to the Present by Amanda Hallay and a copy of Subway Art by Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant. The highest-placed entries will appear on Photocrowd's 'best images' page and social media channels.
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.
