Guitta, I am not complaining that the voted images are deserving the points they received - that is NOT the issue. Your rules specifically stated that JUDGES of the sponsors would choose the winner - this is vastly different than allowing forum members to vote because 1. You could ask a lot of your friends to vote for you. 2. Not everyone who entered comes to the forum every day. 3. It gives contests a bitter taste when you change the rules This was a big contest with major prizes, not a monthly challenge. Did E-on tell you at the beginning of the contest that they were too busy to judge 35 images (and that's another bone of contention with me - you stated 35 images, now you say 36???? - just how many are we talking about? I run contests and the sponsors are more than happy to review and judge the entries, in the past we have have 177 for a Valentines Contest. It just gives out the wrong impression when you run a contest this way. I know you work hard - but we all do - if you are going to run a contest, then don't change the rules in mid-stream.
