Number of entries


 
 
I enter one photo per day into the contest but I see some people have entered multiple entries in one day, like 20 or more. Has that always been the case or is there another level that you have to subscribe to? I tried to look for my entry I had put in the previous night and I had to scrawl through about 20 pages of contest entries before I found it. When did that change and if it did, I am not sure it's a great idea and what's the reason behind it.

Not sure if you can enter the contest if you're using the free option. I noticed a couple members had posted pages of images. (one had 270+ entries so far and one had well over 300 entries posted and all submitted on the same day) If either have the Pro Website then they are fine but if they have a Deluxe Website they shouldn't be entering more than 10 entries in one day and just 1 a day for the Classic Gallery. Unless I'm not aware that Jim has changed the entry submission rules.

Thanks, that explains it. Gosh, I have trouble finding one entry for the contest let alone entering multiples.

I knew you could do this according to what website you had but do not like this rule especially with the unlimited. It doesn't seem like much of a contest. I am sure Jim changed this so the entry numbers were higher. When I first started BP back in 2007 there would be 30,000 entries per month. Now down to 4,000 to 5,000 with the new rule. I guess this was his best choice to keep the contest going. I am like Ann, went through about 20 pages before finding the photo I had entered. Not a fan of this.

The judges may have many, many entries that are very similar, but I don't think they'll be choosing super similar entries as winners. So it's more time consuming and confusing for them really, but probably not a big difference for the rest of us. I just enter what I want to (when I can fit the categories) without becoming too concerned about some of the other issues.
