Now, I see that the free collection review has been completed and the deposit has been made.
However, I was recommended 250 candidates, but this time only 9 were selected.
Last year and the year before, it was good that quite a lot of crops were selected, but this year the harvest was poor.
As the number of participants increases and the number of candidate drawings increases, it seems like there are fewer choices.
I was expecting $100, but I was disappointed and sad, but I also felt good because I got $45. What should I buy with this? Did everyone achieve good results?

Save it till you get $100 and then buy whatever it was you were planning on buying.

Good results are relativ. For me, receiving $5 for a photo that I would normaly only get .33 cents is a good result.

Acceptance into the free collection is always a small percentage of the total assets nominated and depends on the number of assets nominated for each category and the quality of the competition. Since it's such a lottery with unpredictable results, I always regard whatever I earn as a gift.
