Photojournalism - using images to tell a news story. This is often photography at its most powerful, and influential. It can be images of war and global upheaval. But it can equally be local, mundane, but still enlightening as it brings a story better to life. Submitted images must be conveying a news story of some kind, and one with local relevance to you. And do feel free to use the image description to add some flavour and background to your submission.
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.
