A few weeks ago, when the Night Photography contest was launched, I submitted 3 in the first 6 hours. I ended up winning 8th place with my piece Enchanted. Based on what I watched over the two weeks, the early submissions did best by far, except for those who seemed to have "gamed" the contest. While most slowly moved up and down the ranking, number 6 jumped up rapidly in a few days, and with an odd pattern of votes. Their system does not require registration of any sort, and so by discarding your cookies, you can vote over and over. I would not say not to take part, but don't get your hackles up about it being "unfair" when you lose. I had been watching these contests for a while.
