Every member can submit one picture in each of THREE basic categories.</b> <b>Please see the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/cotc/rules">Rules Page</a> for a full explanation of the group's posting rules.</b> Images can be submitted to the Cream of the Crop Pool in the following categories: 1. Most &quot;favorited&quot; (according to flickr) (add tag COTC:mostfavorited ) 2. Most &quot;interesting&quot; (according to flickr)(or 2nd most interesting if it equals #1) (add tag COTC:mostinteresting ) 3. Your &quot;<u>personal</u> favorite&quot; that isn't covered by #1 or #2 (add tag COTC:personalfavorite ) You can also add an extra submission on top of these 3, your <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/cotc/discuss/72157603571075600/">Best Of 2009</a>! (add tag COTC:bestof2009 ) Only one image per member in each category will be accepted. That is a total of 4 (four) images per member. (Unless you joined the group a long time ago and your Best of 2007 and Best of 2008 is already in the pool, it makes 7 then) <b>PLEASE NOTE:</b> To allow for the fact that the group originally had different submission guidelines, the group is set to a total of 7 images per member. If you already have 7 images, you may need to remove an image from one of the no longer used categories to add another. If you are a new member, you are limited to the current categories only (e.g. you can't add a photo tagged &quot;COTC:bestof2005&quot;). <b>You can view other peoples submissions for each of these categories below</b> Most interesting - <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/cotc/pool/tags/cotcmostinteresting/">flickr.com/groups/cotc/pool/tags/cotcmostinteresting/</a> Most favorited - <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/cotc/pool/tags/cotcmostfavorited/">flickr.com/groups/cotc/pool/tags/cotcmostfavorited/</a> Personal Favorites - <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/cotc/pool/tags/cotcpersonalfavorite/">flickr.com/groups/cotc/pool/tags/cotcpersonalfavorite/</a> Best Images of 2008 - <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/cotc/pool/tags/cotcbestof2008/">flickr.com/groups/cotc/pool/tags/cotcbestof2008/</a> <b>Translations of Rules</b>: You can find the full rules for the group at these pages.
