As a new member (about a couple of months now), I voted a few challenges, entered a few... and I would like to share with you what I look for in challenge photos... and also get your view too.
1-Challenge subject: First I look for the subject of the photo. It is very important, because some of the photos are so good but because subject doesn't match, gets low points from me.
2-Clarity: I am not sure why some of the photos out of focus, or blurry... and still entered. I believe out of focus or blurry photos are big time losers.
3-Art part of the photo: Most of the photos, as I noticed so far, looks like taken just to be there... that's it. Most of those looks like point and shoot (no offence just because I got SLR now)... objects in the photo, angle of the photo... I can see the point, I see a nice photo, but missing something... where is art?
4-Colors: Even basic editing gives you option to fix photos. Some of them looks like right out of machine, no editing (sharpening, contrast etc). Some of the pictures don't need to be edited but I think most need a little touch.
I never gave 10 to anyone yet. I try to keep out 1 and 2s from my voting, although I gave a few 2s, I am sorry :/
So, what you guys look for when you vote :)
