There is nothing wrong with posting the contest/voting in other appropriate forums (like the Challenge Forum, the Community Forum). I have often done so myself in the past, and never received criticism for it. What I wish is that the smaller forums, like the Writers' Forum and the Challenge Forum, would get more advertisement in the newsletter and elsewhere. The Challenge Forum doesn't even show up on the front page of Renderosity. It's no wonder it is poorly visited and supported. Many people never make it beyond their single forum of interest, whether it be Poser or some other, and don't realize there are many more places to explore. I do think it is, to some degree, up to the moderators and coordinators to take a leadership role in this. I think they set the tone for their forums, and have more ability to advertise their existence than any single member has. Still, there is no reason an interested member can't promote the challenge and the voting elsewhere. It seems like a good thing to me.
