Plastic Pollution

Open Rating Results
Brief

Open to photographers with a bronze ranking. There are two other 'Plastic Pollution' contests currently open to other ranks. Take a look at the leaderboard for more information on Photocrowd rankings.

Plastics made from fossil fuels are just over a century old, but in that time have become ubiquitous, and used in every aspect of our lives. But their disposal is happening at a rate that is overwhelming the world’s ability to deal with it, with around 40% of plastics still being single-use. Plastic pollution is a major environmental concern that is rapidly rising up the political agenda, and in this contest we’ll take a photographer’s view of the issue. This contest forms part of a series that we’ll be running during 2021 that will focus on both the problems that our environment is currently facing, and the solutions that are emerging to help us tackle them.

How it works

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.
