15. A question on the preliminary polls
Thu Aug 6, 2020, 10:01 AM
Aug 2020

For the finals, does are the finalists taken from the top vote received in each poll, or the top votes across all the polls.

Example: In poll #1 photos get 22, 20, 18 and 16 votes

In poll #2 photos get 20, 15 and 14 votes.

Is the photo with 16 votes excluded because there were three photos in that poll with more votes, even though it had more than two of the top three in the other poll?

Is there a set number of photos in the finals?

Nicely done, my dear Mira! CaliforniaPeggy Jan 2016 #1
