I did not understand your feint ears.
If we take our swamp, then everything is clear there. The idea itself is as follows. The theme is set, and then there are variations on the topic of who, as I understand it. There is no selection, participation is open, he came and posted his photo what he wanted, although not at all on the topic, if only he had been taken on the phone and at the right time.
Then, just as someone liked it, they rated it like that: D
As a result, friendship won.
Immediately, you do a closed reception of works (they must be sent to someone), you have a competitive jury.
And from this, as it turned out, some sort of selection of work follows. There in PM you can say “hey bro, your photo is not pulling a little. You can offer to send another or give advice on how to improve this one.
And since there is a jury, then why the popular vote?
It turns out that someone's work is useless: scratch_one-s_head:

Like a tip.
1. When asking a topic, write a good description for it.
What would it be clear WHAT to send to the contest.

2. Make a selection of what people send.
Given that you take the archive for 2 years, people should not have problems with the fact that the photos did not fit, they will find something else.
You are just like 35words: D
It’s good that at least not a whole year the competition lasts, but only a month: D

3. If you want 2 stages of voting, first, the authoritative jury selects 3 works
And then people on SMS and likes in VK already selects 1,2 and 3 place.
Something like this.
I'll go to my plate: D
