Hello,

What makes the annual award? I have the current award with Busy Bee. I see in the overall rankings it is #64. How was it chosen as the annual if there are so many above it?

How will the Sig Annual award be given out? It is due in June. What is the criteria?

I'm confused.

Two criteria - Annual Award

1 - Requires 150 Raw Votes to qualify

2 - Award goes to highest rated qualified image

So, Annual Award goes to the a)highest rated image with at least b) 150 qualifying raw votes.  WE

Where does one find the list with the number of votes and it's current ranking?

I looked in the top photos...but there is no info there.

No Direct List of this info -

The two ranking list are 1) the "Top Photos" page and 2) each individual category ranking (site & Signature).

To determine any "Raw Vote" count you would need to research an individual image on the submitting photographer's "All Image" list.  WE

Also, your image will go up and down if you leave it in the voting pool. I had an image that was in the top 100 (I think it was #79) when it won an award and it has gone down over 1 full point since then. It may go back up and maybe I will win a monthly award one month or a weekly or whatever. I am not sure (this is total speculation) but if you think about how daily awards are won, it's the highest ranked photo in the category at 12:00am (server time). So, maybe the annual wins as the highest ranked image at 12:00am on January 1st. Seems to me that it should be the one that wins the most awards throughout the year and maybe that's so. Anyone know???
