Thats it... the qualification round is over!!! We're now onto bracket style elimination.

https://newschoolers.com/ns/cult/contesth2h/id/5147/cid/5/

Now remember... this is going to happen FAST. Very simply, you have 24 hours to upload a new photo, and then 24 hours to vote.

So people checking out this contest, drop in and make your votes every other day.

People participating - you can't vote yourself, so please share this with your friends and try to get them to check it out and vote!

Super excited.... 64 men enter 1 man leaves!

Well maybe not men only...

Yeah, not wanting to sound bitter, but my shot got the same amount of votes as the guy that beat me, why did I lose?

Awesome contest and some sweet photos. Also some awfully overprocessed photos.


And the wall ride/motocross shot was definitely not shopped.

I think you should take the comment section off so kids can't post things like 1st pic sucks or 2nd is way better. I don't want to see a participants friend trying to influence voters.

Thanks Pippen! I think with some tweaking we could have a really, really awesome contest like this next year. Something truly big and epic.

But yeah - really happy with the participants. Honestly the level of talent is totally blowing me away!

Yeah it works really well eh?

I think we'll use this format for a lot of contests. There's a couple of tweaks to make though which will take it to the next level. I think it would be great to be able to have a checkbox where you can "subscribe" to the contest, so you get all the reminders about the rounds changing and stuff. Currently, entrants get it but not voters.

Do you guys think we should keep it so that people who enter can't vote?

The subscribe thing would be pretty dope! i often forget to go vote for round two or whatever.

as for the ppl entering i dont think they should be allowed to vote.

Its a real disappointment that I lost to a blatantly photoshopped picture, but then again I would be foolish to expect anything less out of the NS community..

Why are they allowed to change their pictures in between rounds?
Doesn't make sense.

It should be the picture you entered with is the picture that goes through the whole contest.

Well it is the best photo of the season contest so allowing them to improve their submissions each round should ultimately result in the winner being the best possible photo.

And more importantly it makes the contest more fun because there is the added suspense of whether or not the contenders will step up their game with each new round.
