04/11/2011 Contest Update: After suspicious activity with user names during the voting an extensive and complete analysis of all voting reveals the following:

Many contestants used their own ip address to create as many as 18 new users and vote for themselves. In many cases the contestant voted for himself using the same ip address as his regular ip address (so yes, we know exactly who you are). In other cases, one or more clumps of as many 5 or more new users were created using an ip address not associated with the contestant and used to vote. In this case, it would either be the contestant at his work computer for example or simply having friends or family create these users and vote.

Since each contestant entered the contest and did abide by the rules set, no one will be disqualified but we are ruling out the public voting for this contest. We had hoped for a moral and honest turn out in this format but because the forum software can't limit voting based on ip address, this sort of "working the system" is a problem.

A panel of judges drawn from those donating prizes who are not also contestants will rejudge the contest. Once the winners are official, those donating will recieve the mailing address of the winners from me and prizes will be shipped accordingly.

We appologise for the outcome and it has been a learning experience. I think everyone did enjoy the dynamics involved in public voting but because of the abuse of the system by certain contestants it just becomes unfair to those who genuinely obtained votes.

Please give us several days while we rejudge the photos.
