A difficult task for the jury. Great entries and a very popular theme.

But, seriously, it does not add to the standard of this great site the fact that one sees a lot of entries recycled; photos which have been submitted in two and three challenges not even a month a part from each other, there are the same photos submitted over and over with a different title. Come on, some seriousness here, no?

Huge number of entries should not qualify because they do not follow rules. Do you place only the qualifying entreis up for voting? Thanks.

I am going by this Wiki definition of 'House' :
'A house is a building or structure that has the ability to be occupied for habitation by humans or other creatures. The term house includes many kinds of dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes to complex structures composed of many systems.'

Disqualifying only those which are grossly ignoring the definition.

Dear Host, I hope you're going to DQ all those that are clearly not HOUSES.

Any entry not conforming will be disqualified.

Just an observation for the host; 38 doesn't divide by 3 evenly so someone could get short changed... This assumes, of course, that all entrants want to post 3 photos..
