I remember voting over images that looked very much like a bulk upload of holiday snaps. That was before the weekly limit was introduced. However I still find that the type of pictures submitted has a distinct seasonal flavour. Tuned to the Northern hemisphere, for most part. So right now it's spring flowers. In a month it'll be birds. In September it's travel shots, and in October there are autumn colours to thirteen by the dozen.
It could be a subission strategy, I suppose, to stay a bit ahead of the game by submitting seasonal pictures from last year just before the season starts.
