Above, you've stated this:
Each day from now through August 5th, the five members who get the most 10 ratings per day on their photos will each get a $20.00 Borders Gift Card, and the most memorable commenter on each winning photo will also get a $20.00 Borders Gift Card.
So from this, I assume that FIVE different members will win every day, is that correct?
I also assume that you'll be adding up the total number of 10s generated by ALL of the submissions by each member - is this correct? Here's what I mean: Joe submits 6 pictures and gets a total of 35 10s across ALL of his entries for the day. So Joe ends the day with 35 10s. Or are you going on a photo-by-photo basis, as you did during the PMP promo? If this is the case, are you essentially DQing additional photos by a member if said member has more than one in the top 5 at the end of the day? As we all know, some people are simply more active and accrue more comments and ratings. So, it won't be at all unusual to see the same user wind up with 3 out of the top 5 for a given day.
Please do clarify when you have the chance.
Sherry and April have some good questions. I hope I remember to check back and see if they get answered.
Great questions! Thanks for giving me a chance to clarify.
To answer your first question... You're understanding is that five different members will will the photography portion of this contest each day... that is incorrect. If you submit multiple pictures and they are the top rated pics for the day (based on the # of 10's) than you CAN win more than once!
To your next point, we are using the same strategy as the PMP promo, meaning we are going on a photo by photo basis. So, additional photos by a single member will not be disqualified.
I hope this helped! Please let me know if you have any other questions! Can't wait to see your pictures!

You can publish your image anywhere and everywhere... but pictures must be published to family.gather.com to qualify for this promotion! Good question!
