What Makes a Good Photo Submission?

Here are some very helpful tips on what we, the Miss Social team, are looking for when picking Challenge winners:

Photos that are crisp & clear (non-blurry) and high-resolution (larger dimensions). Camera phones might not be your best choice unless you have a newer phone with a solid camera.
Photos that are original, creative, and were clearly created for the specific Challenge theme (we know when you use recycled photos from an old shoot or use old Facebook photos).
Photos that show your entire body. Fact: a face-only photo has never won a Challenge.
Photos that are sexy, playful and engaging to our audience. Rally support from your fans!
Photos that do not have excessive text, URLs and watermarks on them. Showcase your submission through your beauty & creativity, not through “Vote for ME!” text branded across your photo.

Note: PBMS will upload your submissions to the Challenge album as quickly as possible. However, have realistic expectations if you email your photo outside of normal business hours & weekends (which will likely be posted the next morning).

Mini-Games and Game Tokens

May 7, 2013

We’re excited to introduce Mini-Games and Game Tokens to the PBMS experience.

We’ve been listening to you for the past year and it’s become clear that you guys want more ways for judges to earn votes and interact with the site. So, it’s time for a new feature! We’re adding mini-games to PBMS. We’ll start out slowly by rolling out The Wheel this month, but expect more mini-games in the near future.

Mini-games will operate exactly like a standard arcade game. A single token will give you one play.

We’ll be giving out game tokens throughout the month, so keep an eye out for announcements.

What are Mini-Games?
Mini-games are games within PBMS where judges can win votes and prizes. All mini-games require game tokens to play.

What are Game Tokens?
Game tokens allow Judges to play PBMS games

How Do I Earn Game Tokens?
-Elites earn one game token every day they log in to the site
-Every Judge will be awarded a game token at the beginning of each contest
-New Judges will receive one game token when they sign up
-PBMS will give away tokens as rewards

What can I do with my Game Tokens?
Right now, you can spin the PBMS Wheel and earn votes. Over the next couple months we will be rolling out more games.
