The brief for this contest is quite straightforward. I want to see your photographs of penguins. No zoo pictures please, just photographs of penguins in the wild. The penguins can be alone or in groups (colonies or rookeries) or part of a landscape in their natural environment.
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.
