Tiles are thin, flat slabs of hard wearing material such as baked clay (e.g. glazed ceramic, terracotta), stone (e.g. marble, slate) or other materials such as linoleum, carpet or glass. They can be used to cover walls, floors or roofs, or placed on objects such as tabletops or plant pots. They may be used for purely functional purposes such as waterproofing roofs and showers, or can be decorative in the form of mosaics or beautiful wall decorations. In this contest, I want to see your best shots of any type of tiles, in any location, inside or outdoors.
You may choose to show a minimalist scene of plain tiles, flat surfaces & sharp lines. Or you may opt to show highly decorated and coloured surfaces or intricate designs. Images can show a wide scene or close up detail, but whichever you choose, the tiles must be the focal point of your image. Use your skills of composition, lighting and focusing to show tiles at their best. I look forward to seeing your best images.
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.
