” The smaller the bird, the more challenges are presented to the photographer. Longer lenses and quick wits are needed, as these tiny subjects are usually more active and less likely to wait around for you to get your focus and framing right. Small birds are defined for this contest as those with a wingspan of around 30cm or less, so no starlings, blackbirds, doves etc.

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.
