Top Class Awards are given to the photos with the most votes received in a specific contest, during the weekly voting period.
The Top Class Awards are divided in 3 groups:
Top 10 Class Award - An award acknowledging that your photo ranked among the top 10 percent most voted on images, for that voting period.
Top 20 Class Award - An award acknowledging that your photo ranked among the top 20 percent most voted on images, for that voting period.
Top 30 Class Award - An award acknowledging that your photo ranked among the top 30 percent most voted on images, for that voting period.
This is a great way to learn about how your peers have voted on your photos and how your photo ranks.
Your weekly and final Top Class Award(s) will show on your photo's page and in the AWARDS section in your public profile. Congratulations!
