POTM VOTING
Instead of using a 1 reaction=1 vote system to decide the top three for the final poll, every photo will be featured in the final poll at the end of the month. The photo with the most votes at the conclusion of the poll will be the winner of the POTM Contest for that month and receive the prize (if eligible). Please feel free to like the photos as they are submitted throughout the month, just know that every photo will be featured in the final poll to decide the winner. This new POTM vote system will ensure an equitable voting timeframe, regardless of the entry upload day within the month.
Good Luck!
