Winning a challenge doesn't have anything to do with talent and totally based on votes and exposure which depends on the time of the day, number of people who are voting at the challenge at the time of uploading. Besides you need something called guru's pick to obtain to level up in challenges and you can get only if you are posting a new picture or boosting it at the time the guru is voting too, which is absolutely ridiculous given that you might have a number of gurus voting for the picture but you wont get a guru's pick until the guru who posted the challenge has voted for you. Recently the unmonitored reporting has started has started causing problems where a picture of a sea was in a sea based challenged was reported and they removed it. Its ridiculous how people putting up stupid reporting can impact you and you have no way to defend yourself. I am done with GuruShots just because it is the stupidest photography competition website. Don't waste your time on it. With increase in number of users it is becoming more and more stupid by the day.
