Unstaged - community nominations

As you know, the final Unstaged competition - 'The Theatre of Everyday Life' - closed yesterday. The response has been truly incredible, with well over 3,500 images submitted from every corner of the globe.

One of those images is going to earn a very lucky someone a Canon 5D MKII, £500 cash and a lifetime Blipfoto membership (not to mention a Lumix LX3 for two others and more full memberships than you can shake a stick at).

A panel of judges (which includes our hero Jon Snow) is standing by to agonise over the final decision, but first it's up to you, the Blipfoto community, to decide which entries are put in front of them.

We've devised a very simple and fair way for everyone to take part in the community nominations. Click on the link below and, providing your have five or more entries in your journal, you'll be presented with a randomly selected Unstaged entry. Decide if you think it's worthy of nomination or not, click the appropriate button and you'll be presented with another randomly selected entry. And so on.

You'll never see or get to vote on the same entry twice, so please consider your choices carefully. The final judging panel will be thinking about the theme and how well the finalists meet it, so we'd ask you to do the same - if an entry doesn't scream 'The Theatre of Everyday Life' to you, you shouldn't nominate it.

There's no limit on the number of entries you can view and nominate (in fact, you'll eventually see them all if you click enough times) and you don't have to do it all in one go - you can drop back in at any time and pick up where you left off.

We're also delighted to tell you that we'll be announcing the winners on the evening of Monday 27 September, at Channel 4 headquarters in London. If you've taken part in Unstaged, or make it to the list of finalists (to be announced once voting has finished), we'd love you to join us there. Spaces are limited, so please leave a comment below if you're interested in coming along.

That's it - happy nominating!
