I have been keenly watching the 2008 entries coming in and voting on images I enjoy.  However, I am interested to know from the competition organisers;

What is the purpose of the "Reader's Choice"?  Will there be a prize or acknowledgement of some sort or is it merely a means for readers to sort the images?  I actually like the idea of this function as it gives me an idea of how popular some images are (including my own of course).

What is the purpose of  the "Editor's Choice"?  Same questions, replace "reader" with "editor".  Oh, and when will the "Editor's Choice" start to work?

My POTY 2008 Entries

"Loyalty above all else; except honour."

(=II=)

Demosthien,

the thread called POTY 'General' discussed the points you raised. Below is JD's comment on the Reader's Choice.

"As for the voting system, it's simply a way of showing your support; and while the Reader's Choice doesn't directly influence the Judges' decisions, the Reader's Choice page is the default that they'll see when they log on."

My DCM Gallery

All this means is those with the greatest number of friends & aliases on DCMag get their pictures on the front page. Put another way, it enables those for whom the term 'fair play' means nothing more than a ride on the dodgems, to push their portfolio in front of the simple, honest photographer.
