Can anyone shed some light on who judges the weekly photo comps? Seems as though it’s a bit rigged as some of the winners consistently win nearly every week as well as across multiple game platforms. Don’t get me wrong they are great photos, but in the spirit of “judged anonymously” it just doesn’t seem to hold any merit. Maybe its just my speculation on what a great photo is? I’m not sour about it, just curious.
It’s stated in the first post of every comp-thread …
‘Submission Judging
o All submissions will be judged by members of Turn 10. Photos will be judged anonymously so that Turn 10 members do not know which photos belong to which players, making the judging as fair as possible.’

But I think you are more asking for names …
LV and Helios obviously are part of the jury.
I’m sure one of them will answer your question.
Members of the Turn 10 community team judge the photos. Some winners are consistent because they are great photographers so naturally, they win a lot.
I’m not necessarily looking for names. I guess what I’m in search of is some insight to the criteria of the photos in which the judges reach their decision. Again, I’m not sour about it as the winners photos are indubitably pretty rad shots.
there is no criteria for a photo to win. I think that going into it everyone has the same chance. It all depends on what the people judging like to see. Sometimes it’s close ups sometimes action shots full of cars. Just do your best to create the best photos you can. If you take a photo of a car make it unique, then you have a better chance of being seen.
TBH I always thought it is rigged.
I’ve NEVER won even once even though i participated in almost all comps (FH2/3 + FM6/7)
I don’t say I’m a master photographer but I was pretty sure to win with 2-3 of my pictures.
You literally see the same 4-5 pop up at every comp and while most of their shots are ofc beautiful there are some shots that aren’t as nice compared to other shots of themselfes and other people.

I think that they do pick 4-5 of the best photos every week according to the majority vote at Turn 10, but I think 4-5 shots every week make it in for just being good enough to help spark people to submit photos so it’s not always the same 10 people. But you are right a few of us make it to the selection more often then most. I will not say that all the photos of mine that have been picked were worthy over others that week. But you also have to account for how many people submit their Ferrari F40 in the rain or backdrop sunset vs the instrument panel of a crown Victoria??? Be unique !!! It’s helps and sets you apart from others !!!
