True enough, but still if it's a contest it should be a fair one. The first one to upload their picture has a chance to snag more thumbs up at the start. But that is if the people who follow take really long to upload, which could happen.
Say a decently funny picture is uploaded first, gets lots of thumbs up. And a really funny picture is uploaded last, but not enough people online to thumb it up past the first one, even though it was the better picture.
tl;dr a jury would be more fair.
Maybe not allow voting before all the weeks pictures is submitted
But that would only leave 1-2 days voting D:
Also the first post thing,
Even without thumbs up, first post is the first thing they see, more likely to stick in their mind.
New proposal, NO FIRST POSTS.
hmm...
There is no magic solution. I you keep the thumb up system, then the first screens will have more chances. Has been said.
Waiting for all pictures to be submitted would be a useless restriction.
Remove thumb up system, let players submit screens and post comments and uncontrollable expressions of enthousiasm, then let some judges (devs, mainly) decide what is the best submission.
My vote is consequently : weekly judges.

Senni is the only dev that has "time" to deal with this weekly screenshot event
So I think judges will be players

Then the plan won't workÂ
Judges will probably be elected or something.
Bear in mind, Judges won't be able to win anything.
FYI, I don't plan on ever participating in this event, and I don't know most of the people submitting screenshots. Oh and people I do know, I hate them !
Edited the Poll option to make it clearer.
