How come your comments always make me question your reading abilities....
By originality I mean not allowing the same picture to be resubmitted on future contests.
My reading abilities are fine, thanks.
If you follow other contests- and seeing your awards, you are not unfamiliar with them-, you can see that it's allowed to submit entries that didn't get top 3 earlier. I don't see why it should be different in this contest.
Entries are usually judged based on originality (along with creativity, etc.), which doesn't mean that you can't resubmit an entry that's never been placed so the way you put it, didn't really make sense. The word you were looking for is resubmitting. Instead of bashing me, learn to express yourself.
Anyway I have no interest in another pointless debate. You explained what you meant, fine. I don't think that rule should be added.
