Submitted images must show things that have been made using stone, rather than simply stone itself in nature or excavated. That most fundamental of materials, which for millennia has been used for our good. We build walls to house us, carve it in commemoration of the dead, we grind spices in stone bowls, sculpt art from it, and in the past ground our crops between huge wheels of it.
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.
