This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s Leaderboard.
Whether spiral, straight, wooden or metal‚ architects of all eras have found creative and pleasing ways to weave steps and stairs into their buildings. Escalators might offer a little less opportunity for design flair, but as photographic subjects they all share the same visual opportunities - an array of patterns, repetitions, and leading lines that are impossible to ignore.
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.
