DailyAwards.com is a peer-judged photo contest site for photographers of all skill levels. Users are encouraged to post their best work and have it evaluated by others in the community.
The site has an innovative weighted voting and scoring system that promotes fair judging by putting more power into the hands of people who have proven records of voting and winning.
A good feature of the voting process is that images are randomly selected and displayed on the voting page for a user to cast a vote regardless of how long the image has been in the system, given that the user has not previously voted on the image and the image does not belong to that user. This feature ensures that every image has an equal chance of receiving a vote.
Those who post images also have the opportunity to promote their business. Winner’s image gets displayed on the home page for the duration of that contest. Winning an annual award means your image and a link to your site is displayed for an entire year.
Some features of the site may appear confusing at first, so be sure to read the about page, site overview, and FAQ section before signing up.

DailyAwards is confusing at best & more than just the photo is included in judging, making the site inherently flawed, at best. Awards are just little gifs on your account page & the “ultimate” prize of having your image on their main page is as beneficial as one more drop of water in the ocean. A total waste of time & energy.
Daily Awards is a great site once you get to know how it works. When you win awards you get points for awards. The points increase your voting weight. So the people with more awards have a greater say in who wins awards. People who have proved themselves by winning lot’s of awards have a greater weight therefore a greater say in who wins. New members start at a weight of 1 and increase this voting weight as they progress.
Threre is a very helpfull forum and questions about anything photo related are answered quickly.
There are two categorys of competition running alongside each other with standard awards voted on by everyone 1 vote per person regardless of weight, another with signature awards which uses the weighted voting whereby the higher weight voters have a bigger influence on who wins signature awards.
There are 24 different category’s to enter.
All in all a great peer review contest.
