Blake's brief:
I love a strong-emotional Black and White photograph. There is something about the absence of color and how the simplicity of shades can elicit feelings from the viewer.
A good Black and White photo is all about those two stars of the show, Black and White. What I have found is that contrast-rich BW images really help to enhance the emotion in the scene.
We are looking to see your most dramatic Black and White photos, the ones that evoke mood and drama. This is not restricted to any specific genre so feel free to submit a portrait, landscape, or architectural image (just to name a few).

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.
