Q: Can past winners win these too?
A: Why Not?

Q: To view the images in the contest does it mean that "we" (the 1599 people in this group), need to register for an account on Michael's web site to be able to see the images?
A: No, you only need to register to cast vote.. Voter Registration doesn't make you user on Michael's website. Voter registration makes your vote count... if you wanna vote. Submitted Images are displayed in the monthly thread on flickr....

Q: Do I need to register for Voting every month?
A: Voter registration is a onetime action, once registered, your vote will be taken into consideration every time you cast your choices for the PFRE Idol.

Q: Why Registered Voters?
A: This way we can make sure that every vote is legit. Votes casted by un-registered voters will be ignored.

Q: Can past winners summit again?
A: Yes

Q: What if the picture I want to submit is already in my photostream? I have already put my best shots there....
A: Preferably keep the submitted picture unknown, until the results, when everybody will know who did it.
This contest will make you shoot better! New Stuff! If the same picture is in the photo stream or was posted in the past, ppl will know who the author is. The main idea of anonymous image is to offer unbiased opinions about the picture, and not associated by a person we may like/dislike.

Q: Do we just submit 1 photo total, or will this be similar to the July Idol contest where the participants submitted a specific type of shot each week?
A: One Picture / participant... So make it a Good One!

Q: If it is just 1 photo, is there any preference between interior or exterior? (If not, hopefully people won't just vote for the interior ones. Even though interior lighting is more tricky, I think they should both be considered evenly)
A: No preference ... Photographers choice of what he/she thinks is the best of him for the month. Voters will decide then what was cool and what not that cool; I assume we will get awesome images
