Photojournalists are journalists working with pictures instead of words. That comes with the same ethical framework as journalists, aimed at the conveyance of news stories with honesty and impartiality. The history of photojournalism is particularly associated with black and white imagery. One thinks of Robert Capa’s shots of the D-Day landings, or Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother shot from the Great Depression era. Photojournalism can be anything that you consider to be news, on a local, national or international level, and addressed with that same commitment to the ethics of the journalist.

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.
