I think this is a cool idea. I'm curious how you will sort the photos in the grid once there are lots of submissions. The location of a photo will eventually be a pretty important factor in determining its life span, as it will affect the number of views and thus votes that it gets.

Thanks! Right now, the photos are sorted in reverse chronological order, so older ones drop off (the index page only shows the 40 most recent). Of course, if "younger" ones expire, then its possible that older ones would show up again.
