Show me your photos of North American animals engaged in natural behavior. The subject can be any North American animal up-close or far away. Multiple animals or a single animal are acceptable however please no photos of dead animals unless there is also a live animal in the photo. Try to capture the animal's natural behavior unaltered by your presence. Photos with no man made objects are preferred but this is not a requirement. Please keep your images looking as natural as possible and avoid over editing your photographs, as photos with heavy editing will not be considered by the judge.
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.
