Ceremonies and rituals occur all over the world, on many different scales, in every culture - from grand religious processions to private practices and family traditions. For this contest we want to see what rites, customs, services, or other formalised events you’ve captured with your camera.
Winners of the expert and the crowd vote will each get a copy of Magnum Magnum by Brigitte Lardinois, published by Thames and Hudson.
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.
