_And how about If any Daz3D members could Vote on these _There by making more Voters _thanx
Bryce and Carrara users know what goes into making an image in either program. Although both sets of users do import products from the Daz store the majority of the image is produced within the program itself, whereas Daz Studio or Poser they are producing their images with all premade content.
So voters who don't use Carrara or Bryce will tend to vote for the prettiest pictures and not consider what it took to produce it.
That's a good question. Here is my view of how it works.
In almost every Carrara Challenge, there is a semi-mirror thread created in the Art Studio forum. The purpose of the mirror thread is not to exactly duplicate the main Challenge thread, but to provided some ongoing highlights of the Challenge as new images are posted. At the end of the Challenge, members in the Art Studio forum (mostly Daz Studio people) who see the mirror thread are asked to come over to the Carrara forum and vote.
It sounds like a good idea on the surface, but in reality almost nobody ever visits and votes. I think that Sonja (Icedragonart) did a few times, but she has used Carrara in the past and is sympathetic to helping us out whenever she can. The rest of the Art Studio folks seem to be uninterested in Carrara in general. The reason why is unclear. There are some great artists there who use Daz Studio extensively, and we would welcome their participation.
You may be thinking that the Art Studio is kind of a backwaters in the Daz forums, and that it would be more effective to ask for voters in the Commons forum. It's a logical course of action, but when I tried to do it, I was told by a moderator that it was not permitted. So that specific avenue of getting more voters is gone.
I think that Carraraists and Brycers are in the same boat, as neither is actively supported by Daz in terms of new development. We both have strong followings, and are both seen as underdogs. Those are a few reasons (but not the only reasons) why each tends to support the other when voting in respective Challenges.

Good points.
As far as I know, all the render challenges have been moved out of the Commons Forum, not just Bryce and Carrara. The RRRR random challenge, the "Its Raining Men", Lola Lane's Music and Poetry inspired, etc are in the Art Studio Forum. Voting seems to be a common problem across the challenges. For example, the RRRR often has trouble getting enough votes to resolve the challenge.
When I hosted my Challenge I put posts in the Art Studio but they recieved very little interest. I also voted in a RRRR challenge which was struggling to find voters.
So, when is the new challenge coming?
