This answer is for use only by Gallery Hosts who are interested in holding Contests. 

 

 

Only the Members of the Gallery or the Host can judge or rate a Gallery's Contest.

 

The Host will decide if they want their Contest to be judged or rated.

 

That means deciding whether the Contest will be judged by a Single Judge or rated using Member Ratings.

 

 

 

If the Contest will be judged by a Single Judge: 

 

A Member or the Host can be a Single Judge for judging a Contest. 

 

If the Contest will be judged by a Single Judge that means that there will be one assigned judge to pick the winners of the Contest.

 

A Single Judge for a Contest can be any Member of your Gallery,

 

Or, a Single Judge can be you, the Host!

 

 

 

If the Contest will be rated using Member Ratings: 

 

All of the Members and the Host can rate the entries.

 

If Member Ratings is the preferred judgement method for the Contest, that means that all of the Gallery's Members and the Host are able to rate the entries in the Contest.

 

So, if you have a membership, then all of your Members (and you) are able to rate the entries in your Contest.
