Opportunity description
Photocrowd is inviting photography enthusiasts and professionals around the world to participate in a close-up portrait photography contest. The close-up portrait, often stripped of a contextual setting and penetrating deep into the personal space of the subject, gives a chance to examine an individual’s features, expressions, and emotions with a degree of intimacy not often experienced outside of art.
Conditions:
- Images uploaded to Photocrowd must be JPEG files.
- Images can be up to 25MB in size, and 10,000 pixels on the longest side, which will be enough for most files.
- The minimum image size accepted on Photocrowd is 1080 pixels on the image's shortest side.
Judgment:
- Every photo submitted will be available for the crowd to rate once the submissions period has ended.
- Ratings are on a three-star scale - the more stars, the better.
- 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 favorite images and writes some image reviews. The crowd and judge results will be announced on the same day.
The Competition Timeline:
- Entries close 24 February 2021
- Rating 24 February 2021 to 3 March 2021
- Winners announced 3 March 2021
