Judging Round Complete

Congratulations to 1st place Samar Mandal, 2nd place Johanne Brunet, and 3rd place Christian Öser! Also listed are honorable mentions, picked from the top rated photos from the judges. This contest had tons of great photos – stay tuned for the new contest announcements in the next couple of days.  Thanks everyone for your participation.

I have been reviewing the voting methods and currently designing a new method. The purpose of re-designing the voting feature is to improve exposure of all photos to members and increase participation from “one-time” voters.

What is the most important change to voting for you

  • show my photo's ranking relative to the whole contest (41%, 14 Votes)
  • make the popular vote less 'popular' and more about the quality of the photo (38%, 13 Votes)
  • more constructive comments from members (21%, 7 Votes)

Total Voters: 34

Honorable Mentions


The “B&W” contest is now open for submissions. This is a technique based contest focused on Black and White photography.  Rules are simple – no color in the submissions!..Black and White only. Quota for submissions per member is 3 photos for this contest.

Prizes?

Yes!  There will be prizes for the top three photos in two categories : the Judges selection, and Popular Vote.  Prizes have not been chosen yet so stay tuned for a post later this week on what prizes we are offering.  Since the introduction of the rating system for our photos in the Facebook App, all votes on your submissions count toward the Popular Vote – so the sooner you submit , the longer you have to get votes.  Keep in mind you can place once per contest!
