I've participated only once in a renderosity contest, to realize afterwards that the whole voting system is terrible anyway. The more friends you have the more votes you can generate. But don't feel bad it's the same at many places. I once entered a brilliant image to DAZ where they use the same voting in the pc club, only to see some much lesser works win, due to many friends voting on them. I'm not participating in such voting contest anymore, it's quite clear that it's unfair voting.

Then on the other hand a impartial judge isn't always the solution either. They have their taste and aren't always that impartial either. Example, I once entered two gaming competitions. One by the company of one of the applications I used for the game creation and another independant gaming competition. Both claimed to they had an impartial not related jury.

In the first competition my game wasn't even on the list of honerable mentions. They games that one were far worse then the games that didn't win. The guys that one were in very very good standing with the company and one most of the competitions. Some of the games were even crap.

The same bunch (and many more games) entered the second competition. My game was judged second place, while the others who one where judged by the jury as crap......

That's the way things go at times, nowadays I'm very carefull in what competition I do enter or not.
