I predict the winners will be chosen from the first 200 images.. can't imagine anyone scrolling through over 1000 thumbnails.

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

Except the first 200 is different for each person. :)

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!

I'll be voting every single image. Tons of folks along with me won't miss a shot.

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?

And the countdown begins....

I've had the same sequence on both my desktop and laptop computers at home when signed in and multiple times for each. I figured it was randomized for each user but the random order stayed the same for different sessions.

Ummm, I live in BeeCee... oops, I mean B.C. Yup, rollover's 9pm so it gives me lots of time to get at 'em right away :D (Tho' lately I have been seriously BAD about voting :( )

Yup, I believe you're right.

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!

It is random for each user, but my "order" will stay the same despite which machine I'm on. It doesn't "shuffle" everytime I go to vote -- though if memory serves me correct, it used to.

I think that some vote into loose scoring ranges then go back and finetune, so they may, for example, put those they will score 1-3 under a 1, those that'll be in the 4-7 range as a 5, and 8-10 as 10 on first pass. Then they'll go back to the 1s, look at them together, rank them against each other, and assign a score, and so on for the rest. (or some variation on this idea)
