How are winners drawn?

Several choices are available:

  • The public choice: Ask the visitors to vote for the best picture. A visitor can vote only once for a photo, but for as many photos as he wants. If the contest will be installed on Facebook, the participant has to like the Fan Page and accept the application.
  • Jury decision: You select a jury that picks the best photo. Your contest gallery is still open for visitors, but they can not vote.
  • Both of them: Your fans vote for their favourite photos. The jury picks afterwards a winner out of the most popular pictures. The platform does not provide this case in particular, but your jury can make his decision at the end of the contest by choosing one of the most voted pictures.
