page. I tried the next day and got in just to find that voting was closed.

About a month ago I wrote to Steve and told him about my concerns about the

working as people were already voting for the three images already
uploaded, but there was no guarantee they would come back and vote for the
rest!

Steve by the way kindly replied to my e-mail and said this would be looked
into.

At that point I had no idea that voting would be closed just as soon as all
images were in!

So this is basically how the voting system currently seems to work:

Images uploaded early get all the votes. Late submission get hardly any as


Also this system allows people to vote only for some images (their peers
maybe) and ignore everybody else.



Those who upload late are often those who have put most work into their
submissions and they are those who get "punished".

In my e-mail back then I suggested a system that blocks the votes from each
single voter, until all images have been voted for. Which means that voting
can not start until after the deadline. One week should be enough, then a
winner can be declared.


fair voting system.
