That wouldn't work either Cyberstretch, because the Poser contests get far more votes than the other galleries (not because that galleries art is better or not, but because it's far more popular a place), and thus it would always be the Poser AoM that would get AoY...Which would leave a lot of great artists like Hobbit, who won last year, out of it...

I do like Penguinisto's idea, but I would add to that no more campaigning. The art is the art and that's it. How "fair" is it if one artist can manipulate the vote by such advertisements?

No matter how fair it would seem to be, you are always going to get this argument. There are 100,000 different minds on here and there will always be the feeling that someone is cheated. As I said before, and Cheryle had also, that they should just get rid of these "popularity" polls and find some other method by which to showcase artists...
