I want to see your photographs that depict people in a moment of high tension. One or more people can feature in the photograph. You may want to draw heavily from cinematic influences in your submissions, as I want to see moments when a character appears under pressure. This could be a moment when they appear to be in fear of something taking place or about to take place. The photograph should not show violence, but rather it should suggest the threat of impending violence or some kind of tense event. The photos can depict any time period. I will judge the photos based on their thrill value, composition and also lighting which are all important elements in a tension photograph. Your submissions can be in either black and white or colour.
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.
