Straight lines occur in nature and in the built environment, on scales large and small. You’ll see them everywhere – thick, thin, hard, soft, overt, implied. For this contest sponsored by Alamy we want to see how you’ve captured and used straight lines in your photography, from the abstract to the observational.
The expert’s winner and the crowd’s winner will receive one of Lowepro's Pro Runner BP 350 AW II backpacks – the next generation of Lowepro’s widely popular professional series.
The expert's top 10 and the crowd's top 10 will have their entries displayed in Alamy's 2-week exhibition at theprintspace gallery in London, starting 17th September 2015.
The two overall winners will be printed in Digital Camera magazine's 'Hot Shots' feature pages...
... and will be offered a 12 month, 100% commission contract for new images on Alamy.
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.
