Watching the northern lights, or aurora borealis, is one of the greatest experiences a landscape photographer can have. Capturing the bright dancing lights of aurora asks for a lot of planning and patience, as it is very unpredictable and heavily dependent on the weather. For this contest I would like to see your best images of the northern lights. I want to see creativity, good composition, and planning.
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.
