The Elo rating system applied to photo, a new way to do photo contests

In plain words

Pixide is a photo contest platform that uses the Elo rating system to rank images. Rather than traditional judging methods, the system allows photos to compete against each other in head-to-head comparisons, with ratings adjusting based on voting outcomes. It's designed for photographers who want a dynamic, mathematically-driven way to showcase and compare their work. The platform launched in November 2016.
