I would like to do a photo competition. What is the best way to do it?
- Ratings? (1-5)
- Choice component (1-5)
(I want to be able to make the present score visible)

Since you can’t rollup the values of the Ratings component, I suggest choice component. Here’s my take on it:

> wave Hey all! I know Glide came out with their own Ratings component, but it doesn’t Roll up averages over user specific columns. I managed to come up with a custom-built solution that’s an improvement to a simple drop down menu of ratings. Here’s how: [[Glide: Create your own 5-Star (or whatever) Rating Component] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7TEF5z5t7U) If you’d like to play around with an example, visit my Experiments app and visit the Ratings tab:
