Town and city skylines

In association with Photocrowd

Open Rating Results
Brief

Many hands have their say in the profile of a town or city’s skyline. Buildings built over many years each add their own element to the view across the rooftops, and that profile can often be extremely distinctive, especially when a signature building or tower is present. Who would have difficulty identifying Paris with the Eiffel Tower on display, or New York with the Empire State Building? But urban skylines of ALL shapes and sizes are invited in this contest.

This Premium Contest is worth 1.5x the standard points towards your Leaderboard ranking. It’s Expert-judged AND crowd-rated, with your score from each combined. Find out more about ranking points here. Our Experts are some of the world’s finest photographers, who select the best images, and provide valuable feedback to help you improve.

How it works

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.
