No society would be where it is without wood. It has given us shelter, allowed us to travel and transport goods by sea, road and rail, and to cultivate land. And, of course, it has provided warmth, and so much more. With this brief, it’s a case of looking around us and observing the impact wood has made on our lives – be it functional or decorative. Use your images to show your appreciation for the skills, creativity and craftsmanship behind pieces that are made of wood, and allow the viewer to see something new in what might be an everyday object such as a serving dish, a spade handle, a chair, or a wooden building.
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.
