Call for projects organizer
Photocrowd’s contests are the best designed on the planet. They’re crowd rated so everyone gets feedback on their photos, and our experts choose their winners too. They also write brilliant image reviews, so you can learn from the best.
Description
BriefPhoto Oxford 2017 is pleased to announce its Open Call for photography submissions that investigate photography’s capacity to both conceal and reveal. The photographic medium is the perfect vehicle for an enquiry of this kind given its unique link to notions of perception and reality, truth and knowledge as well as photographers’ frequent use of the camera to lay bare what would otherwise remain unnoticed.
Photographers are invited to respond to the theme as widely as possible. Works can be from any kind of photography practice or application and we are inviting works that are, in particular, imaginative and provocative.
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.
