    Have I missed something?
    Should not the weekly contest end yesterday and start a new or does it go on another week?

    Yesterday was a Bank Holiday in the UK (thus the office was closed), I'm sure it will be done today at some point.

    For those not familiar, a bank holiday in the UK is what elsewhere is called a public holiday. Yesterday was a special one, given so we could celebrate the coronation of His Majesty.

    That theory is a lie, in Week 14, I had more likes than the actual winner, and still lost, so...

    The weekly screenshot contest doesn't go on most likes anymore though.
    That was stopped due to people getting friends etc to like their posts in order to win.
    The winner is now decided by DTG staff.

    Sometimes it's just a coincidence that DTG choose the post with the most likes for the winning photo.

    Stop and think...............................If the shot is good enough to be an option for the winning shot of the week ....................... it is also going to attract a lot of likes from fellow contributors and thread followers, hence a lot of likes.
    LIkes do not win this comp, quality contributions do.
    I challenge you to come up with a major All singing, All dancing, The Perfect Winning shot and post 30mins before the deadline.
    Guaranteed you will have 0 likes but could possibly blow us all away and win.
    It has happened before !!!!!!!!!!
