(Voting) DPC #297 "The Best of 2021" - Event Date: 03 February 2022 - 03 March 2022

Dear Dyxumers,

It is time to vote for "The Best of 2021". We include all submitted shots in the final voting. This time we have 54 great photos.

As usual we will employ the 5-3-1 voting scheme: you can award up to three photos by assigning 5 points to the one you like the best, 3 points to the second one and 1 point the one you liked a bit less. You cannot sum points and assign it to one photo, i.e. the only thing you can do is to assign either 5 or 3 or 1 point.

To cast the vote it is enough to give the photo number and the number of points. Strictly speaking the voting format is following:

#photo_num: points

Please remember to put each vote on a separate line.

Example:

#15: 5    #09: 3    #29: 1

Please note that voting for your own pic is not allowed.

To resolve situations where there are two winning entries with equal number of votes the one with greater number of 5-point votes will be selected as a winner. If the number of 5-point votes turns out to be the same - the number of 3-point votes will be compared. If it happens that both photos have exactly the same distribution of votes the decision will be made by a committee consisting of admins/mods/alpha eyes (preferably those not voting in the DPC in question).

Important: Only Dyxumers with the status of "groupie" or higher can vote - votes of "newbies" will not be counted.

As usual the administrators also have the right to make one or more Honorable Mention awards.

The voting will close on 3/3/2022 (earliest closing time at 21:00 Dyxum time)
