It is outlined on the voting page, but you vote for the winner. Some of the photos are from professionals and some from amateurs, but all MUST be submitted by the original photographer. So you you can't simply pull something from the web and submit it as your own. We do cross check submissions. Stretch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted March 12, 2014 Share Hi Hubbers, It's time to announce the first winner in our Photo of the Day competition. With 11.8% (71 votes) February's winner of the GoPro Hero 3+ Silver Edition is... 18 February 2014: Enthusiasm has no bounds By KathF 2nd) 24 February 2014: School Holiday stunts: Week 3, attempt 26: 8.7% (52 votes)3rd) 04 February 2014: Done and dusted: 7.3% (44 votes) A note on voting issuesFollowing some issues with suspicious jumps in vote numbers on Friday and subsequent investigations we took the decision to disqualify all votes received on Friday. While we were unable to link the multiple votes received to any specific entrant, it was clear that multiple accounts had been created over a short space of time using disposable email addresses purely to cast votes. Although, in this instance this did not change the end result, we will be taking preventative measures to ensure the voting process more robust going forward.

The Smoovf Posted March 12, 2014 Share I will admit that I am biased as my friend was in close running for the GoPro. Its sad that when we left work on Thursday he was neck and neck with the winner mentioned above. Then within 12 hours the winner was ahead by 40 - 60 votes? The serious cheating then followed thereafter. Admin could shurely check who has received votes from new hub members to ensure more fair practice. Rant off.

This is why we discounted votes from Friday altogether. There were many new registrations on Friday purely to vote for friends in the competition. Going forward we'll revise the voting criteria to avoid these issues and ensure fair practice like you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
