(6,429 posts)Wouldnt it be easiest for the host of each monthly contest to close and end, the very same thread of the finals , and upon closing just say this is it the winning photo is the photo with the most votes here?

It'll be in GD and if you stop by, you'll see how lovely this tradition is.

(6,429 posts)does put a fair amount of work/time into it.
So, Im just thinking of a way to make it easier for the hosts of the monthly contests.

(31,450 posts)to host the contests and the individuals who volunteer to take on the task are most appreciated, especially by those of us who have been hosting contests for some time.
But the contests provide an opportunity for DU photographers to share their work and each time it is a thrill for the winners to see their work appreciated and recognized. Although the voting isn't blind, most people aren't aware of which photographer submitted which photo (unless they track back into the Submissions thread in the Photography Forum) and announcing the winners in GD provides an acknowledgement of the photographers whose work earned the winning votes.
I know, as someone who has hosted many contests-- and won a few--that I don't mind the effort involved in putting together a winner's thread, and appreciate seeing a photo of mine which has won acknowledged as my work.

It needs to be cross-posted in GD as well.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
