I am fairly new to this site and haven't entered a competition but am wondering if they are judged according to how well you are known and how much you post or if decisions are based on merit alone. Any thoughts or experience to share?

There are just too many members of this forum for anyone to stand out to the extent that their 'popularity' could influence voting. I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

The Forum tries to maintain a certain standard, inorder to justify the use of expensive equipment. It has to be this way or we would never be able to convince our significant others to let us buy new equipment...

tommykjensen Cream of the Crop More info | Apr 18, 2006 12:04 | #6 The contests Big_B run can't be more fair than they are since they are anonymous. Only Big_B know which photo belong to which member. So unless a member "cheats" by revealing which photo is his/hers there is no sure way of voting for Your forum buddies. belmondo wrote: I think they are generally judged fairly.

Sometimes I have been able to identify the member because of his/her photo style. EDITING OF MY PHOTOS IS NOT ALLOWED

In2Photos Cream of the Crop  19,813 posts Likes: 6 Joined Dec 2005 Location: Near Charlotte, NC. More info | The competitions are anonymous. The picture is sent to the moderator or member who oversees the competition and then the pic is uploaded to a gallery. All images are kept anonymous with only the title displayed along with the voting number. I have participated in a couple, knowing that my pics were not the best by far but the experience was fun none-the-less. If you are entering the contests with only the thought of winning I urge you to not compete as it will take the fun out of it. That being said I still believe they are chosen based on peoples likes of the photos and technical merit. Mike, The Keeper of the Archive

We invent a theme and people shoot and upload whatever they want. It's about getting out regularly and having an inspiration subject to shoot and then just sharing the results. It's good fun.
