Picture Contest

[Brain916]

Well there was 2 pages of submissions by October 15th, and now there is less than that. Does this mean the contest holder eliminates pictures slowly? Resulting into 1st, 2nd and 3rd?

Contest System:
There are currently four phases of the contest: photo submission, entry reduction, member voting, and private ranking by judges.

1. Photo Submission
There is a photo contest category located within the gallery. Submit your contest entries into this category. A minimum of ten eligible photos are required before the photo entry phase ends.

2. Entry Reduction
This phase includes the reduction of entries to a total count of ten photos. Currently, the site administrator chooses, without bias, their favorite ten photos according to specific criteria.

3. Member Voting
All members may vote on their favorite photo. One vote per member per contest.

4. Private Judge Ranking
Private ranking by a few judges appointed by the administrator. This phase helps to prevent different forms of abuse.

That's why the number of entries are smaller.
