Before entering this contest please read this Tate article. Bernd and Hilla Becher make a fascinating choice for our ‘Inspired by’ series. For 40 years they documented disappearing industrial architecture, in a documentary and consistent style - in black and white, with no people, and often presenting different examples of the same type of structure in a grid format. This contest invites you to use their work as inspiration, but submitted images do not have to strictly conform to the ways in which the Bechers worked, so could for example be in colour not black and white.
This Premium Contest is worth 1.5x the standard points towards your Leaderboard ranking. It’s Expert-judged AND crowd-rated, with your score from each combined. Find out more about ranking points here. Our Experts are some of the world’s finest photographers, who select the best images, and provide valuable feedback to help you improve.
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.
