Pretty much what Shaman said. My guess is we have another Photoshop class whose instructor had them all sign up here at PhotoshopContest.com. We have had classes come through here before. The sheer number of them signing up at the same time and having nearly the same number of entries is telling.

Usually they're kids, so try to be nice, or at least patient, okay?

Perhaps its one of our own members creating an alias and trying to make a point about the way people vote and what they vote for.
In other words do a really crappy chop just to see how many people vote for it.

Either way it dont look good to new comers to the site.

I looked at several of them. Did you? The ones I clicked on all signed up on Aug. 31, and most have the same number of entries: 6-8. By the work, I'd say an Intro to Photoshop class of 12 - 14 yr. olds.

Don't think it's spam... Spambots wouldn't spend 2 minutes in photoshop they have more important things to do...

but maybe someone who wants more votes could quite possibly create aliases in which to do so...

OR maybe its one of those innocent school projects again?

Both have happened before...

What kind of school project ?

'Do a shitty two-minute entry. Please note that the entry most be created AND uploaded in that two minute time frame'

NO! A speed chop class!
