Photo Gallery and Competition Software?

[Jamesdoylephoto]

Hi,

I run a nature photography community and members have been asking me (administrator) to implement a monthly photo competition setup. I started out with just setting up a special forum for members to upload their images and then used a poll to have members vote for their choice. As you can imagine this is a very messy way to run a competition.

Is there any software or plug-in which I can purchase/use that will enable me to run a photo competition more efficiently?

Thanks for your assistance
James

Thanks blind-eddie.
Photopost is the software I have been looking at but it's hard to work out its intergration with VB and whether or not it have the ability to manage competitions, any clarification on these points would be appreciated.

Currently I am running the publishing suite of VB4.1.12 and also wondering if there is going to be much of an overlap with what VB already provides.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

From what I read on the photopost site it blends with default gallery. Read more here (http://www.photopost.com/why-vbgallery.html)
I helped a member here with the very same addon years back just for Competitions.
You may want to register there & search for the info you require to make sure it will work with your version of vbulletin.
Good luck.
