We hear you 😉

This will be available with 1.3
I've just released 1.2.9 which fixes this issue. Thanks for letting me know.

There's a live install at https://doglymail.com/motm/
I'll get a playground demo set up now.

This isn’t currently an option. I’m not against it and it could probably be achieved with a cookie but it would be very open to abuse. 

Seems, they have separated Sign in with Apple ID from Apple Developer Program.

New in 1.2;
Added IP addresses to who voted dialog. Added support for merging entries. Added an option for members to be able to vote on their own entry. Added entry thumbnails to previous winners page. Added a link to the full competition results from the pevious winners page. Added support for following competitions. Added a group setting for who can see who voted. Fixed an issue where competitions may show to users without permission. Fixed an issue where scheduler settings were being cleared.

Nice idea, thanks.

Great app and wonderful developer.  One thing that would make this even better is Club support, so clubs can have their own specific competitions.  
Thanks!

Without being able to view the environment the only thing I can think of is you might not have the PHP Internationalisation extension installed. If you don't have that then install it and re-run the task. In 1.1 I have removed this requirement and added a fallback.
I'm working on 1.1 and would like to get some thoughts from a few people on the subject of SEO.
On the sites I have seen using this so far, most of the content aside from the image is imo "thin". Comments such as "great photo", emoji etc.
Currently, I'm planning to add structured markup similar to the Gallery application as that is essentially what it is with each competition being a separate gallery. I would like to here people's thoughts on this though to see what people think should be no-indexed, no-followed etc if anything?
 

Support has been added for manually scheduling competitions in 1.1 which is now in the marketplace. There are also some other features added based on feedback in this topic.

This sounds like a bug with the task. Can you send me a PM with access info so I can look into this please?
No this will work with 4.4 or higher only.

I have run an experiment for over a month. I have increased the number of entries in one sitemap from 500 to 1500 and have added lastmod date to the sitemap index that contains the last modification date of the newest entry in the sitemap (and NOT the timestamp of sitemap generation). Result: there was a slight increase in page indexed by Google, BUT there was no change in organic search traffic. 
For me it is not worth just increasing the number of pages in index if there is no influence on traffic. That's why I have given up to "optimize" the sitemap. Can somebody here give a prove that number of pages in Google index correlates with organic search traffic from Google? I mean the traffic is the goal at the end of the day and not the number of indexed pages.

Thanks, I'll see what I can do

Brilliant thanks
Feature request for future - It would be great to have an RSS feed of the entries so we can push them out automatically to our social media accounts.

It's the number of votes a single user has per month. If it is set to 5 for example, a user can vote on 5 entries in that month and then the following month they get another 5.
Yes. entries will stop showing in the current month view and a task runs to add the top 3 to the previous winners tab.
As soon as the next month starts people can enter. 

Hi @Unlucky There is a widget for the current top 3 leaders.

Currently it will only show the top 3 although it will show ties for each position. I do have plans to add a photo of the year from the previous year's monthly entries however. If you know my development style I don't like to overcomplicate things so it's not likely I will add changes to support top 5 etc in the hall of fame. What I may do however is add a link in the hall of fame for "runners up" so that a table of all the entries is shown separately for each month if anybody wants to dive deeper. I'll be making continual improvements but I'm very picky 😄 

These aren't currently features. Yes it's hardcoded to monthly though I plan on adding yearly from the previous months entries. I do not plan on adding support for multiple competitions to run concurrently. I like your suggestion for not making votes and views public and for hiding the author. Perhaps this could be simplified into a single setting to avoid subjectivity like you say. From personal experience knowing the vote count seems to foster competition and increased sharing on social media but I can see some communities would benefit. I'll add it to the suggestions list.
