It highly depends on the person how much time they would spend on it, but I would be surprised if they would spend more than 8-10 hours on it. It also includes a little reading up, explaining and discussing the edge cases. > > 1.

First they are asked to rate all pictures, 1-5 stars. Then we allow jury members to 'veto' an image (say it's unworthy) and if a few members agree, we remove it from the selection. Then we have a bit of discussions about the top-40/50, and from that top selection, they are asked to rank their favorite 25 and add a comment. > > 1.
