'Volunteers in action' can mean so much. It's not just the heroic actions of trained volunteers battling great seas, or a Mountain Rescue Team arriving on time. Maybe it's also someone collecting with a bucket on a flag day; people helping at an incident; or the old lady selling jam for the village church roof. Sometimes the capture of the picture may not be technically great as conditions may not allow, but try your best to capture the heroism of a volunteer.
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.
