Hi All
Voting has now stopped ;)
You can still vote on the site, but votes will not count, so they tell me.
The short list which will go to the judges,will be announced later this week. I believe and hope I am in that short list as when voting ended I was in 2nd place in the amateur photo group, so fingers crossed.
Once again, thanks for all you support and votes..I owe you all big time ;)

| I voted anyway - 975. Doesn't that make you a little uneasy having them say the voting period has ended but seeing that vote counter continue to go up? I'll keep voting today....just in case! |

| Since it's at 997 votes with a 3.9 it doesn't look like voting has stopped :) |

1045, and still going. I read the rules, and it says that entry ended Oct 8th. There will be a short list made from the top picks, and then a panel of judges will determine the final lineup. I am guessing that the vote counter will stop when the short list is picked. The results will not be posted until Oct 29th.

Hi all ;)
The shortlist has been picked and will be announced later this week. The PR rep for the competition has told me the shortlist was decided and picked at 6am on the 11th, so even though you can still vote, these votes will not count, so fingers crossed I am in...if it goes on peer votes alone for the shortlist I should be as I was in the top5 ;-)
Thanks again guys and gals ;)

You should keep your fingers crossed, your placing doesn't matter too much unfortunately:
Originally posted by Rules of the competition:
A Bayesian Rating algorithm based on the peer online votes will be used to establish a shortlist of five amateur and five professional entries per category.
(The Bayesian Rating algorithm is based on the Bayesian Average, a mathematical term that calculates a rating of an item based on the “believability” of the votes. The greater the certainty based on the number of votes, the more the Bayesian Rating approximates the plain, unweighted rating. When there are very few votes, the Bayesian Rating of an item will be closer to the average rating of all items. The algorithm uses this equation:
br = ( (avg_num_votes * avg_rating) + (this_num_votes * this_rating) ) / (avg_num_votes + this_num_votes)
avg_num_votes: The average number of votes of all items that have num_votes>0
avg_rating: The average rating of each item (again, of those that have num_votes>0)
this_num_votes: number of votes for this item
this_rating: the rating of this item
Note: avg_num_votes is used as the “magic” weight in this formula. The higher this value, the more votes it takes to influence the Bayesian Rating value. |
I can't do the math, but as much as I understand the entries that came in later and got fewer than average votes have a slight advantage, if their average vote received was lower than the overall average given |
