How to Set Up Voting on a Competition

August 22nd, 2018
Hi! This is my first time winning, setting up a challenge and now listing the 5 photos to be voted on. How do I accomplish this? Help please! :)

Select your chosen shots.
Underneath each is an arrow, click on that, select copy
Save it to a word document.
Note name and @name of photographer
Repeat for rest of chosen shots.

Open new thread ( like you did here)

Copy and paste all you've copied onto word document

Add #numbers to each photo, so voters can choose.

Put in gaps and breaks between text for each photo.

Thank previous person, say when voting with close press go, and lovely and behold that text becomes pictures.

You can edit everything EXCEPT the title you give the thread.

Hope this makes sense CC.

@gardenfolk Here's a link to one I set up yesterday.

It's pretty much exactly what @30pics4jackiesdiamond said already but you can see what it looks like before you post it.

I am just about finished with my first one and I never thought about doing it in a word document first. It is a bit cumbersome with all of the copy/paste and I was so afraid I would make a mistake but it worked out - somehow :) Good Luck, @gardenfolk! I am sure you will be just fine!

I know, Jackie...I was a little overwhelmed because all of a sudden, I won 3 in a short period of time. And this is my first one to this stage! I do enjoy participating but when you are scattered and unorganized, being responsible to start up a challenge, choose and announce the winner can be a bit much...times three! I will do the best I can but take a break from entering challenges. :)

@gardenfolk don't let it put you off entering!!

@gardenfolk bless you! don't stop joining in! I know how it feels though - as I have messed mine up twice due to my scatty tendencies. Winning three challenges at once though, someone should give you a medal. The lovely thing is though, if you ask for help here, you will always get it :)

@helenhall I have discovered how helpful everyone is, coming to my rescue. Thank you for the support. Up until now, I have enjoyed participating and even getting my photo in the voting mix. But, I was overwhelmed when I was picked as the winner 3 times in a row. Luckily, two of the challenges I did not need to pick the subject matter, at least! I am just juggling 3 balls (challenges) in the air in different stages, with different start and stop dates, etc. plus posting my own photos, trying to comment on others beautiful photos and having trouble keeping up with everything. And...in the process of getting a new roof with pounding noises and upset animals. :)
