Can I Show Votes in a Photo Contest Gallery?

You choose whether entrants see votes. In your Gallery, open the Voting tab and turn on voting, then decide on Show Vote Counts.

• Show vote counts: the Gallery gets a filter so viewers can sort by most popular, most recent or random. It's a good fit for a public popularity contest, because rising counts get people sharing.
• Hide vote counts: votes still count, and you see them in the backend leaderboard. Hide them if a judging panel decides the winner, or if early leaders discourage late entries.
• Hide Sorting: removes the filters entirely, and you can rename each one.

Set the other voting options in the same place. Allow Anonymous Votes lets people vote without logging in (based on IP and session), and Require Social Login makes them log in first, which we recommend. You can also limit voting to a date range or to certain locations.

If hidden counts will pick the winner, say so in your terms. Our photo voting contest guide has more on running one.
