This contest is open to photographers ranked below 1000 in this week’s Leaderboard.
Scenes of heroic battles and lacklustre draws. Victories and losses. Personal and team effort. We check out of everyday life and check into the world of sport when we step onto the pitch or court. The focus of this contest is a little more on the areas of play themselves, be they professional stadia, or the local fields. But this of course can include sport being played, showing them in use, being trodden on, run up and down, and generally doing what they were built for.
Ranked Contests are a weekly chance to compete alongside photographers of a similar Leaderboard ranking. Three contests with the same theme run at one time - for photographers ranked 1-250; 251-1000; and 1001+. They open Saturday morning after that week’s leaderboard has been updated, and are open for 5 days. They are Premium Contests, Expert-judged, but with no Crowd vote, so are worth 3x the standard ranking points.
This contest is expert judged only with no rating by the crowd. You will be able to find out how you did when the judging or rating period has closed.
