Let me see your photos of lions, leopards, African elephants, African buffalos and rhinoceroses. These animals are traditionally known as the Big Five animals to be seen on safari in Africa. The term was coined by big-game hunters, and referred to the five most difficult animals in Africa to hunt on foot, but is now also widely used by safari tour operators, and they are spectacular animals to photograph. Photos should preferably be taken while on safari in Africa, but definitely no photos of caged animals. Images may be in colour or black and white.
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.
