Pixoto’s Top 20 Photographers of 2011

December 22, 2011

Are you one of the Top 20 Photographers in the World for 2011?

Make sure you have at least 10 highly ranked images in a category to find out.

We will announce the Top 20 Photographers of 2011 Awards in mid-January 2012 for each Pixoto category with more than 750 participants. Here are the details:

The winners of the awards will be based on the average ImageScore of your best 10 images submitted in the category during 2011.
You must have submitted 10 images to a category to qualify. We want to make sure the Top Photographers have consistently great images – not just a few lucky shots.
Winners will receive a special badge prominently placed on their profile page and an embeddable widget for their personal websites.
We will publicize through a press-release, direct email, social media, a banner in the sidebar and through a dedicated section of the site accessible from the header.
We are not using Pixoto Points for this purpose because they tend to favor early adopters and we want everybody to be on a level playing field.
Submission Deadline: New Year’s Eve, 2011 (based on GMT)
(categories that currently don’t meet the 750 participant minimum are: Sports, Mobile, Fashion, and Nudes & Boudoir)

December 21, 2011

Just a quick note to let our members know that all images submitted in 2011 will be eligible for Best of the Year awards which will be handed out in mid-January. Points will be given for these awards based on the number of images submitted in that category for the entire year. A special best of the year award badge is being designed for the occasion. We will add the ability to filter the player leaderboard by time period in January.

Happy Shooting!
