In this contest I want to see images of standing stones, megaliths or stone circles, which have been erected by ancient peoples.
Standing stones (or menhir) and megaliths are massive upright stones and often date back hundreds or thousands of years. Examples include Callanish (Scotland) Carnac (France) and the Egyptian obelisks. Stone circles are monuments where several standing stones were arranged together into a circular shape, famous examples being Stonehenge (England), Avebury (England) and the Ring of Brodgar (Scotland). In this contest I want to see your best images of these ancient stone monumental structures - standing stones, megaliths and stone circles.
Please do not enter images of buildings (ie structures with walls) such as Machu Picchu or Greek/Roman temples, as these will not be included in the judging of this contest.
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.
