It really takes it out of the voting. People will always have favourites.

The Photo Challenge is not a competition with major prizes as such.
It's a friendly challenge to encourage all our members to submit their entires on the topic of the month.
Through this we get to know each other and each other's character, style and creativeness.
After running the challenge in "Anonymous mode" for a while, we found that participation declined dramatically, to the point that only one or two entries were submitted each month.
In other words it was hardly a challenge at all.
Following discussions amongst the Admin team and from feedback from our members it was realised that the best and easiest way to conduct the challenge was to revert back to it's original format where everyone just posted their work.
As for 'having favourites', I think people that participate in the voting care enough and have honour enough to judge each photo on it's merits and not on whether it's been submitted by a mate of their's.
