Your photos should show a situation that was not expected; a surprise find where it should not be, a scene you thought you would never see, or anything else unexpected you have come across that made you take a second, closer look in surprise or astonishment.
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.
