It's actually the standard deviation of the votes that is used.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

It's not a perfect metric for the purpose, but it is reasonably reasonable for the purpose.


Yup -- I know. I just figured with that wide of a spread the standard deviation would be rather wide. And it was. :)

(I just didn't have the patience to do the StDev myself.

Yep - more or less.

I used to give asigmatic out in comments, see for example

Basically, the awarder needs to add the award as a comment for me to pick it up. I don't scrape the posthumous thread. So some examples where the MUAIMHO are given here, but not in comments are not captured by me. Same with jury'd ones. a specific user needs to leave a comment on an image with a specific image. It won't get it all, but it gets 90% there I reckon.

Ok. Sounds like you're doing web scraping (Python probably) and looking for specific (your own library based numeric image ref to 'bling' images) items, and only walking the scraper thru challenge entries - not forum threads. Sound about right?

Hmm. I used to update my profile page, it's been years since I've added any 'bling' but I did have 5 'undie' awards listed. On your updated website I'm only showing 1. ???

I think there may be a couple of 'bling' types not represented also. For example, this one ==> . vlado used to post these as a piggyback to the Posthumous Ribbon thread.

Posthumous Art (juried) Ribbons:




Don has a few unique 'bling' awards on his profile page, and I have a couple as well, that aren't represented in the collection of awarders on the updated website.

Not sure if this is helpful info or not. Apologies if it comes across as finding issues, etc. Not meant that way.

ETA - more findings. Strange, the chromeydome and vlado 'Awarders' are on your list, but the ones I've rec'd from them aren't listed. ???

glad2badad - some details here. Basically I calculate the awardee of it in software.

That's right! I cheated a little bit and my code does a soft 'backfill' - since the award is 'deterministic' and based on vote variance, I just calculate that in software and push the awarded images online. Only about 200 have been awarded by me physically, but the website has the catalogue covering all challenges. I might look into doing a 'hard' backfill sometime - it would be nice for pepole to know that they have won!


also some details in the link you gave

Niall!!!!!! So good to see you!!!

NiallO - can you tell us more about the Asigmatic bling? I've not seen this bling attached to any image. One of the more recent ones is this one ==>

What's the premise behind it?

Here's the updated one, glad2badad :) (query here: https://www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=1319042&page=9#7711051)
https://nialltwomey.com/dpc/

Here's your received page:
https://nialltwomey.com/dpc/recipients/glad2badad/

Haven't re-run it in a while - will look into doing it shortly.

Edit: it has been a while since I looked at the gallery. The collated gallaries are absolutely stunning!

This portifolio should get a permanent button on the website.

What a totally worthwhile project. It's so empowering to scroll through these on a focused search and see what I've been missing or have forgotten :-)

can y'all help me fill in some missing info? some awards that are given by several people and are missing from my database since i don't have that info. for example, i assumed it was given only by bvy, but there are more! does anybody know who else can give this award out?

also, are there other awards (either currently in the catalogue, or otherwise) that have multiple awarders?


Hi Niall,
sorry I can't help with awards given by multiple awarders, but I found awards that don't show up on your site:

I "earned" a yellow and a blue babyface award from tate
I just looked at his portfolio- apparently there a a few more awards he granted, just take look:
tate's awards

Thanks, Niall!

I was thrilled to see my comprehensive list. Funny how you don't realize how they accumulate over time.

I'm delighted and humbled by the recognition from my peers.

Thanks, awarders!

Awesome. I had no idea!
 10/21/2020 09:41:28 PM · #20
That’s so cool! As long as I’ve been here, I knew not of such “Bling Awards”. But what a great job you did in organizing this. I just spent a very long time looking at everyone’s awards!
 10/21/2020 06:33:30 PM · #21
Terrific! Thanks Niall.
 10/21/2020 10:19:30 AM · #22
Thank you very much Niall.

This is a wonderful way to visit unique images.

10/21/2020 09:23:54 AM · #23
I have spent hours browsing through these photos. I keep wishing a curator of contemporary
photography could have at them. There is some extraordinary work here. It is really a very special
collection and that it is global enhances it more. Again, thanks so much Niall.

Amazing!!!

The site looks great. Wonderful work!
