Under your Admin Center, the Photos Tab, then under Display Options is a link to "Gallery Options". Part way down that page is an option to show/hide Editor's Picks.

Thank you Christopher - and yes it is already enabled. I have entered my first ever BetterPhoto competition and received an Editors Pick - will it not show on my site until the end of the months competition?

Hmmm... No, if you know it received an Editor's Pick, the little silvery emblem/badge should appear immediately. (How do you know your image got one, by the way, if you can't see the badge in your gallery?) Editor's Picks are assigned all month long, day by day, as the contest entries for each day are given their initial "cursory review" by BP staff, usually with a 1-4 day lag time. Once a particular month ends, then all Editor's Picks amassed for that closed month form the pool for the next rounds of further eliminations (done in private; no announcement or badges are given for surviving those rounds). Those further eliminations ultimately produce the pool of published Finalists, usually sometime in the 3rd week of the month. (Historically, only about 4-5% of all contest entries make it to Finalist.) From the published Finalists, a few days later, come the actual 111 Monthly Winners awarded gold badges for Grand, First and Second Place.

You should be seeing the medal. However, if you uploaded one image for your website and uploaded it again for the contest, it may look exactly the same, but it's not. BP assigns a number to each image, and the two uploads will have separate numbers and only one medal. If that's the case and you still want the medal on your site, you'll have to delete the unmedaled version (only!) and replace it with the contest version with the EP.

Good point--hadn't thought about having 2 "copies" of a single image in the member center---one that was originally for gallery display, and a later one uploaded into the contest. Keep in mind Annette, that once you upload a photo to BP (say, you decide you're only uploading it in order to display it in your gallery, not to make a contest entry), if you ever later decide you want that exact image entered into the contest, you can enter that already-uploaded version; you don't have to upload a 2nd copy just to make the contest entry. Any photo already in your member center can be entered into the contest without a fresh BP upload of that file.

Yes, as I said it was my first contest entry - and it had taken me ages to work out where the entry point was on the website - Live and learn! Good luck for your Cathedral renovations - I am from New Zealand and have a daughter living in our earthquake city, Christchurch. I have visited this lovely city many times over the years, and remain saddened by the great loss it has expierenced, and yet heartened by the tenacity of the residents!
