Another couple of  suggestion, this time regarding voting.

I've always found the voting period to be dead space - it's easy to lose interest and forget about the contest. 

With community voting the number of votes each entry has received is never given (insert your favourite conspiracy theory here as to why, if you're of that ilk). It can be disheartening if you've put a lot of effort into an entry but have no idea whether you just missed winning or whether you got zero votes. I think you need to show the results.

But why stop there. Maybe during voting you could have the number of votes each image had received so far displayed ?  I wonder how that would affect engagement ?

And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
