Divide the entries into three posts. Or two is there are few entries.
In the prelims take the top three in each post and the final 10th highest vote getter from all the posts.

In the finals take those photos and run them.

I like to take one third (or thereabouts) of the entries and run those in the finals, from there I determine the top three.

In other words, if you only have 18 entries, there should not be 10 finalists.....

I hope this makes sense to you. It does to me, but I have a headache
