This was not the case. I was one of the first to submit pics to the entry and none of my pics are here. Also you can’t vote individual photos in the entry post; you can only like the post of the person. There was no criteria. They probably have a judge body and they picked the 20 they thought were …

[image] jasonhernandez74: It was announced that they would pick the top 20 Not complaining. just curious as to who is “they” who picked the top 20. Not sure I could pick 20 out of all the amazing photos.
