How 5/3/1 voting works
Casting a vote
During the voting stage the three favourite designs in the gallery are ranked. First choice earns 5 points, second 3, third 1.
Voting for your own entry is not allowed. Once recorded, a vote cannot be changed — the decision stands as made.
Why ranked preference?
One-tap likes are a weak signal, because they let everyone approve of everything. Ranking forces a choice to be made.
The result reads better too: even when two designs collect the same number of first choices, the spread across second and third choices decides the order. A broadly liked design can pass the favourite of a small but committed group.
What the points do
Points are written into the weekly standings and the long-term reputation ledger. Titles unlock from that ledger.
There is no cash prize and no sponsor gift. Active voting can be found on the Challenges page.
