A tableau is a constructed scene, usually with more than one person in it. In theatre it was a motionless performance, evoking a painting or sculpture. In photography we can do the same thing. So rather than "capturing" a scene, we "create" it - thinking about the place, the people, the outfits, the poses, the light, the interaction between the subjects and, most importantly of all, the story we are telling. Fire up your imagination and use your skills to construct a tableau!
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.
