Open to photographers with a ranking outside the top 1000. There are two other 'The night sky' contests currently open to other ranks. Take a look at the leaderboard for more information on Photocrowd rankings.
Astrophotography. It’s a big word, but surprisingly easy thanks to the capabilities of most camera these days. Taking pictures of distant stars is no longer just the work of astronomers. Anyone can capture the majesty of the galaxy with a simple camera – all you need is a clear night and the willingness to have a go. Shooting stars has never been so easy.
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.
