Setting up a Monthly Photo Contest with viewing of back months

[velvita]

Hi

I currently run a monthly photo contest but was thinking of using Photopost. I run 20 user submitted photos each month which are then achieved and available for viewing. I have an archieve back for a couple of years of the previous monthly contests. The voting system needs to be limited to one vote per 24 hours and be cheat proof. I currently run a numbers of votes system rather than a 1-10 system. I would also like to be able to link the photos back to the submitters web site or email address so they can get some traffic for submitting their photo, as well as being able to highlight and promote the winners at te end of each month.

Is it possible to set up such a structure in PhotoPost 5 now.

Cheers
Velvita

A few more details.See previous post.

I accumulate the photos submitted over the month which are not displayed, and may be more then 20. I only select the best 20 for the contest, then start the contest at the beginneing of the month and finish at the end of the month.

Do you have a link that we can have a look at?

The system allows one vote per category per user; anything different would invovle changing the code. Votes are "counts", not ratings so you get "x votes" for any given photo in that category with no rating. When you End Voting, the category continues to display but is sorted in the order os those with the most votes to the last.

Thanks for the info re the scoring system. A counts systems is what I prefer.

The current contest is listed here which has to be done by hand. ie photos are sent then i put them up in this format.

Any idea if Photopost can emulate the format.
