Open Category 2018

Fantastic entries so far!

This is the last call for submissions, it will close tomorrow and let the voting begin.

Entries are closed and voting is open until 11 Feb when the winner will be announced.
In order to vote click on the following link, which is the latest entry and thus is listed first in the gallery:
www.vertical-endeavour.com/gallery/drakensberg/essence-of-the-dragon/open-category-2018/monday-roll-call-1586.html
Give each image a rating, clicking on "Next" to get to the following image.

In the screen-shot below you can see that you give the rating near the bottom of the page. If you move your mouse pointer over the stars you can give it a rating by clicking on one of the stars(1 star being the lowest rating, 5 stars being the highest). The actual rating result of the image is viewed near the top. If you move your mouse pointer over those stars you will see the exact score and how many times the image was rated.

Remember:
- the rating result is weighted (it takes into account the number of ratings as well as the average)
- you cannot rate an image more than once
- you cannot rate your own image
- you should rate all the images for the competition (not just your favourite one), the more each image is rated, the better

The voting participation is looking great! Remember to get your rating for each image done if you haven't done so already, for both this category and the cellphone category.

While we are waiting for voting to close, it is a good time to consider the next round:
- Do you have a particular preference for annual or quarterly rounds? Or should it be bi-annual?
- Any ideas for themes?
- Any general suggestions for improving the way we conduct these competitions?
