This contest is about the landscapes of saltings, mudflats and marshes. These watery flatlands can be bleak and wild with a beauty of their own or they can be the once neglected but often reclaimed wastelands on the industrial fringes of our cities.
For the purposes of this contest, you should be concentrating on the landscape of these places rather than the wildlife, people or activities that take place within the environment of the saltings and marshes. Of course, wildlife and people might feature in your landscapes but the key judging point here is that the overall landscape should be the focal point of the image and the sole reason for the image.

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.
