I submitted about half of my currently accepted pics before the peer voting started in September last year. The rest were submitted between September and December. Since I've been out of the loop for 6 months I don't know if things have changed now, but last year I saw no significant difference in acceptance rate before and after peer voting was introduced. But i DO think there was a change in what type of pics are accepted. I think I bitched a lot about that... :-)
