This contest is for your photos of people or animals hugging. A hug can mean accepting, understanding and giving affection; it costs nothing and is absolutely therapeutic. I look forward to seeing your photos of the warmest hugs possible.
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.
