It's fairly important to estimate the total uploads so that we can mobilize the right number of people for tasks such as reviewing the pix, placing them in the lists, and pre-jury screening. So far I've been using the standard scientific method of pulling a number out of my wazoo ("US is almost as big as Europe ==> 100,000")
It's difficult to make a comparison because we had only two days of contest and because the number of countries is higher than last year.
In addition last year it was the first time of a larger participation, so the users experienced the event and they were able to understand the rules. So I suppose that a lot of participants had kept the images in their hard-disks waiting WLM.
For instance I took a lot of photos before September and wait WLM to upload them.
Anyway don't wait a small number of photos. I think that over a specific level "more than thousand" doesn't make a difference.
