omniCONTESTS gives you an unprecedented level of control over your awards program and powerful tools to administer your online photo contest. You can view all the photos, score the photos, assign awards and run detailed reports. When you set up the contest, you can configure the entry questions, rules and timeline, limit how many photos an entrant can submit and establish the voting process.
