They come up randomly for everybody, and many of us will vote on all of them.

I believe they come up in a different randome order for each voter. And I intend to vote on every one of them!

first one..... undoubtedly :)

you feel like taking a look...??? :p

Because it happened with me many times in past that after the contest is over I felt my 1st version was good enough than 2nd. That's why just telling by instinct. Many times we overdo for getting the best,isn't it?

I predict that the ribbon winners will all be noticeably photoshopped.

Can't be that, because those were the only shots not allowed (past challenge entries). And besides, I plan on taking the brown :)

I meant that the quality of the brown ribbon winner in THIS challenge could have been a blue ribbon for any other challenge.

Ahhh, THAT makes sense :D

...and you would be wrong.

alanfreed and his 199.303 votes would most likely be one of those who votes on every single image, and I know that I have full intentions on doing exactly that.

Okay, I just got out of the hot tub, my voting/commenting muscles are all relaxed and warmed up, I have a full pot of coffee and a good 6 hours before bedtime. Bring it on!

If you weren't signed in, you couldn't vote, so it wouldn't matter. :)

I thought that was the case, and then I started to wonder about that when I hear of people entering what they call "place holders". Often, I'll see several entries to a challenge within an hour of the challenge being posted.

What is the perceived purpose of these place holders if the entries are shown randomly?

Well, so far we only have to vote on 156 a day to get through!

edited to add:
I usually like to look at the photos a time or two before voting--I think that will be difficult this time around!
