Hi Brian,

I revisited the results of Best of 2017 and I noticed that the very top "entry" has very high votes, say like 70, but the "owner" and "title" are blank. Right below that will be what looks like the entry that received the most votes, say like 25, with the owner and title listed. The total number of entries that received at least one vote doesn't seem to match that "blank" entry. So I'm wondering what is meaning behind that high number? Thanks!

People could have removed it from their Lowry

No, it's just a computer glitch.  You can ignore the blank fields with the meaningless number next to it - it's showing that for every category now and wasn't there when the results were initially released last January.  The numbers don't appear to tie to anything.

That's right. I now remember the most voted pieces being very clear cut. There was nothing confusing about the results.

Does this mean 5 entries total over all of the categories or 5 per category?

Happy New Year!

Three days til you can enter in the Best of 2018. Time to decide on what your 5th entry will be. Ya that one is always the toughest.

If I read the rules correctly, we could enter 5 pieces in one category.  Am I correct?

Safe to say, if you participated last year, and have art in your Lowry, from last year, you need to remove the art to free up your 5 entry slots?

Yes, that is correct. 

And if anyone cares about such silly things like I do, you may want to record the vote count your pieces received because once they’re gone, they’re gone. I regret not doing that in the previous years. A simple screen shot should do.

Great idea! But seems that data is gone! And 2017 Best of is all blank?
