[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 300836, member: 9556"] ^^^ This. I feel that having the number of likes an entry receives is by no way an accurate measurement. We all know that folks here are very generous with their likes.. and if you've been on the forum for a while, you develop a friendship with the others & when you see an entry, you are almost certain to 'like' the pic. this would be the case for an 'average' pic. at the same time, if there is is a fresh face with an average entry too, the number of likes would be lesser.. i would attribute this is to human nature & not prejudice. this is what i would suggest - have the assignment/challenge in a forum where the user names are not visible. people just upload images anonymously without any watermarks or indication on who the uploader is. then have a voting system where it can just be the number of likes or something more complex if needed. the discussions can be done after the results, where the participants can talk about the image, how they worked on it & things like that.. not sure of the feasibility of this, just my thoughts [/QUOTE]
