The Top Submitters

Ever wonder how many of the 20220 Prime Curios! each of the 1638 submitters contributed?  We can answer that!  But how do we count?  We decided that if a team of three folks together submit a curio, each should get one-third credit.  This leads to the numbers below.

(Updated Thursday Feb 05, 2026 11:21 am UTC.)

Important note: We would greatly prefer to list the top submitters by quality, not quantity.  An exceptional curio could be worth 133 poor ones.  But this program cannot measure quality, only you can.  So as we list the rest of these names, do not view them as the 'lesser' submitters!
