shrug Having watched this for over two years now on every contest, the Hot20, and whatever, Cheryle... I think we're/they're going to get some kind of argument over whoever wins, no matter what methods are used. I'm not even going to quibble with the people that have been saying that all along. ;] Anonymous would help on contests, like the magazine covers, card contests, various software contests... but AOM is selected [currently] based on gallery examples. I don't see a way for anonimity of the artist to apply there. Hell... if the admin can't be trusted to administer contest rules fairly, and members can't refrain from abusing guidelines, might be better to just eliminate AOM/AOY entirely. I'll agree with Illusons this far, that there's been abuse of the system on both ends here.
