Ok it says "The Point System
The contest uses a point system for determining contest winners. Each photo entry receives a certain number of points, and the photo with the most points at the end of the contest wins. Photo entries receive points in the member voting and judge ranking phases.
Member Voting
First, second, and third place photos receive 5, 3, and 1 points respectively.
Judge Ranking
Each judge assigns points to their three favorite photos according to an objective list of criteria. Each judge gives out 3, 2, and 1 points to their top three photos. Currently there will be 2-3 judges per contest." What is the "objective list of criteria"

The objective list changes over time as improvements are made. The goal is to try and get judges to make more objective rankings compared to what regular members are most likely making. The criteria includes things like health, photo quality, photo composition, and the chameleon compared to others of the same species.

I hate to hijack the thread, but I have been klicking around and cant for the love of me find out how the photo contest works practically.
Could some friendly soul explain the process, just the ball part. Where do I upload, etc etc. Maybe there is a sticky somewhere that I missed?

After the Aug. contest is over, where it says vote now will change to enter now and then you will be able to up load a picture from your computer. I noticed you are a jr. member. I think you have to be a member for a certain amount of time before you can enter the contest.

No but if the rule wasn't there, some people may be tempted to create various accounts to get their votes higher in the contest. I believe you may be able to post a picture, but you will not be able to vote.
