I have been a Pro+ member since 2018. This site is fine to view other photographers' work, but their contests are a joke. My latest contest entry was ranked # 1 out of 12k entries when the contest initially closed. Within a couple of days, the rank changed to # 3. The contest then went 'In Review' for a week or so. The final results came in today. My photo is now # 2,783. WTF? Contests are a joke.
Dear Steven,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We apologize for any misunderstanding and would like to clarify our process. Please note that our weekly rankings are determined solely by the number of votes received during that particular week, without taking into account previous weeks. Therefore, it is possible to rank in the top 10% during two separate weeks and not ultimately have a ranking in the top 50%, as the ranking is determined by the total number of accumulated votes received over the entire voting period. We hope this clarifies any confusion and thank you for your continued participation in our contest
