another 50,000 images and it will be time to upload our attempt at the 1,000,000 image. I forget what the prize was but i think it was good.

But what are the chances Leaf?

Have you ever got a round number? I mean like one of the 94 X 10000s picture?

leaf · « **Reply #4 on:** February 08, 2007, 05:39 »

well i actually think the chances are pretty good

relatively speaking

They currently have almost 17,000 files in the cue. It seems they go through the cue in the order they were submitted.

They currently have 960,757 images online, but have had around 1,875,782 submitted which means they accept about 1 out of every 2 images submitted. That means if you submit an image today and get it accepted it will probably be around image #969,000

I think one could get within 1000 of 1,000,000 pretty easily. So that means your chances are 1/1000

If you had a full cue to upload (100 images) you might bring your winning chances down to 1/100 if you were lucky

Be skeptical if you want but look who'll be laughing when i walk away with the prize

Anyways, I think it would be cool if someone from here won. I will post a new thread when i think it is the optimum time to submit so we all can send in our images.

I noticed that wehn you upload you images, leave them there for a couple of days and then edit them, they instantly are transfered to the review queue.

i suspect this is because they recieve their review cue # when they are uploaded, not when they are 'clicked through'.

Are you taking into account all the people who are holding back for the 1m image. And if you are taking into account your own reject rate when calculating your odds.

leaf · « **Reply #10 on:** February 08, 2007, 09:32 »

well, people stock piling images to get in on the prize shouldn't make a difference. The right time to submit will still be the same. However, you are right, in regards to how quickly the 'opportune' time to submit will come. If people all of a sudden start storming dreamstime with images today, then the best time to submit might be later tommorow.

ahh yes - and reject rate. I guess if your reject rate is 50%, you cut your odds of winning in half
